Small Project for Today(Leaky Foot)

[Adam_777]

So I took my VS250 apart the other day to check if it had oil in it and it was dry.I went to the store and grabbed some grease and oil for it.Took it apart again,cleaned it out and properly lubed it.Put it all back together only to find the oil comes out from the reel foot base where it mounts to the gear case.So I fished with it this morning with a slow leak nothing dripping in the water.Got no fish(figures).Took it back apart this morning and cleaned it back out and removed the reel foot.I cleaned the old silicone off the area and applied a thick base of new stuff.Now I'm just waiting for it to dry.Anybody else ever have a leaky foot ? I'm too cheap to send it back and it is easy to break down and put back together.Anyway the reel works flawless and was packed full of grease when I first opened it.I has been submerged on multiple occasions and will be again for sure.Maybe I'll put up some pictures of the inside and how I pull it apart and put it together.
