Green goo from studer a807

[gugug]

Hi - can anybody help?

I have a pool of sticky bright green goo on my floor that has come from my Studer A807. Whats happenin' man? Its like science fiction. Some spiders got stuck in it too. Something needs replaced for sure.

Somebody spill some antifreeze on it?

Alien invasion?

Rough party the night before?

Don't know. I don't know what (if any) fluids are inside these machines. I would imagine there may be a minute amount of oil in the motors, but beyond that you got me

Can it be grease from a bearing or something like that? I'm not sure.

Does it look like this?

...that's the only green goo I'm aware of on these machines.


If that's not it, open up the back and look inside, see if you can spot where it's coming from.

Is it sticky gooey or is it more fluid oily?

I second the recommendation to open it up and see if you can see where its coming from.
