My machine is getting oil everywhere - it seems to me that it is mostly coming up from the bobbin area - it is soaking the seams of the vinyl I am sewing.
I have a Juki 1541 - when I lean the machine back to add oil to the bottom, do I lean it all the way back? There seems to be a lot of oil under there and in the oil pan - I had to add oil but the oil catcher didn't have a lot in it.
I did the paper test, like the manual said, and the oil spots seemed big it wasn't a light line of oil - drops were about the size of a pencil eraser. I adjusted the screw and the line did get lighter - but I am still getting a lot of oil on the vinyl.
Any thoughts? Could I have over oiled the top and it is dripping or is it most likely from below? Any thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks

I use a Consew 206-RB4, and I will get oil dripping down the needle right after I oil. It doesn't last long however. I just wipe it up.

If you are getting a lot of oil below then raise the machine, clean out the pan and then lay a piece of paper down. Put the machine back down and let it sit for half an hour. Raise the machine and see where the drops are at and if they are anywhere near the site glass or oil reservoir plug.
