Aha! Your OP was a teaser - the followup contains the genuine description.
This is where an infrared thermocouple (Thermo Gun) is worth it's weight in gold. But you probably don't have one - thought they were a frivolous expense...
I do have a laser pointing, infrared thermometer. Bought it many, many years ago... specifically for measuring wet cell temps, actually. Probably after enduring... I mean... hanging on every word of... one of your posts.
Do we need to up your meds tonight, gramps or did you just skip your nap today?

Shortly after the Showroom Exit, the silicone based fluid starts to seep. A slight dampness isn't a slopping mess.
I believe the OP phrase read more like, "...noticed some grease and gunk in the bi-metal spring."

Genuine replacements were about twice the size and weight of garbage cheapo's. And twice the price. If the Haden is large and has a large positive following then I'm convinced...
It appears to be of similar size as the OEM.

Howziss gonna work with the new overdrive transmission (heh heh)?
You skimmed that OP too quickly as well, MEX. I said, "I was considering a late '80s MH when it occurred to me that I could get an OD if I opted for an early '90s unit on a P30."
OK. I think my takeaway from your post is that the weeping clutch is trying to tell me to get the will and trust paperwork in order for her looming departure. Thanks!
