There is still a drip at the drain plug of the gear box even after a new copper washer and some aviation sealer. It is wet on the side and above; I suspect a leak at the seam.
The upper ball joint is apart.
There was a little ridge on the side which I erased (Which may have produced binding with a thinner ring). I removed .25 mm on the ring.
The ball joint is tight, smooth and has no binding.
The upper one had a big play; about .4mm.
Turned out that it is not salvageable. I am waiting for a new upper ball joint from Dave Burnham.
