VS sent me a seal and a gasket I ordered from them a couple weeks ago and since the oil was leaking out of the supposed sealed reel, I need to maintain it because there could be salt water in there now. Also it's missing some oil now so I want to fill it up. I bought the reel and didn't use it for a year maybe, then used it twice and the oil leaked out.

Thanks maddog2020
I'll still do that trade with you soon if you want.
Usually guys get whacked with big bills when they buy the reel used as it's not under warranty then. I've heard a few horror stories as well, but almost always it's an old reel someone bought on eBay that has the old stainless main shaft.
