Thanks for your responses to my Onan oil leak. I had called Wes Coughlin
about a year ago when this first started happening and for some reason was
under the impression that parts weren't available anymore. You not only put
me on the right path to fix the generator but also renewed my faith in the
GMC community my wife was actually trying to talk me into selling it. Took
mine to applied GMC a few years ago for some work but didn't realize they
could also fix the generator.
Thanks again,
Ron
