triggered by pressure buildup.
Check for plugged vents, over-
filling and elevated heat levels.
Stress from too much torque
can result in gasket failures that
lead to leaks. Seal failures are
often caused by misalignment.
Leakage is a fault and
compromises machine reliability
and all of the consequences of
failure (plus a few more). As
such, the P-F Interval clearly
applies. Everything maintenance
and inspection resources can do
to extend the P-F Interval to
allow for safe and convenient
remediation is justified. To do
this, we need to ask why. Why
did the leak occur, and why was
it allowed to advance?
