I noticed oil residue around what I guess is the belt cover? Is this normal? I sent the photos to the dealer and asked and he said it's probably just oil from the rollers. No big deal or cause for concern. I wiped it clean to see if it builds up again. Anyone else have this, or have an idea what is happening?

I looked at mine and just a slight hint of a darker color. Either way in my opinion it shouldn't be oil at all. I like how your dealer says no big deal. I'm sure it's no cause for concern but it looks like **** and not very professional.

Hi Just realized that i had the same type or residue around the belt cover. I sent the photos to the dealer and he replied me the same, and I should not be concerned. His own scrambler is having the same.
I will try as well to wipe and see what happens, but I would be curious to know if you have resolved it?

thank you

Its likely not a "leak"...

There have been more than several reports of this happening in the last few months - and the cause was traced to an "overabundance" of assembly grease used during manufacture. Time - and heat - melt the grease, causing it to make its way outside the covers.

My leak was the same on the outside but a bad seal inside. Have in checked or you may have a real problem later
