Warco oil can replacement

[petro1headParticipant @petro1head]

The oil can I got with my Warco lathe leaks. Its leaking where the plunger enters the can.

Is there a fix or should I invest in a new one that does not leak? If so any suggestions as to which one?

I keep the supplied one for head oil as you don't need to tip the can up to fill the head or apron gearboxes. For way oil I use a small Reilang can that suits the ball oilers and works well at any angle without leaking

Thanks Jason

There are quite a few on ebay, some new, some used.  Am I better buying a new one or going for a vintage/old one

All my oil-cans leak, some worse than others. People say nice things about Reilang but they ain't cheap. Not much should be expected of a vintage oil-can; think "worn-out" rather than "quality".
