On my 7040, the weep hole on the oil cooler is slightly wet right after startup, then dries up once it warms up. Is this normal?

Its not a difficult job to fix, I done my 7060 year or so ago,they're 2 different o-rings in there, 1 for oil,1 for coolant, I guess the main point is, don't mix them up. I looked up the parts on the ago parts page
Ya can do a search of my posts, I put a couple pictures

It appears to be diesel fuel though. Right above the oil filters out of the tiny hole there, not a large amount, just a little dribble. At least I thought it was diesel fuel??

No, it will be engine oil or antifreeze. MACK

Normal,no. Precursor to fixing cause. You have an 0-ring failing. It won't get better.
