EV Solenoid dripping lots of oil

[jsledder]

I've got 5 IQ's sitting in my trailer right now and under 3 of them I'm getting quite a bit of oil dripping from the EV Solenoid, I'm not talking a little 3 or 4 drip spot on the floor, this is more like someone spilled a cup of oil. Oil pumps are set correct and I use the same oil in all sleds, EV's were cleaned recently and not real dirty.

Is it normal for some of these to leave such a mess? My trailer floor looked like new when I got it and now it looks like the floor of a 100 year old auto repair shop.

Solenoid could be stuck open. there is a resistance check. @68*F. should be 15ohms+ or - 15%. or put voltage to it to hear it open/close.

Check bellows as solenoid only vents..then if you want you can bypass it...

plug the exhaust valves and be done with it. if i recall, a 5/16" bolt fits nicely.

I've thought about that. Got my 900 plugged off but then doesn't all that oil that is now on my floor end up in the Pipe?
