Can anyone tell me if the freespool drag adjustment screw/brake pad should be wet with oil? Trying to determine from parts break downs if that should have oil in the area but i cant tell. Its a total pain to pull just to inspect for myself to find out.

I would think not, but my memory on winches is failing:eek:. Any oil leaking around the drum? I would think the seals below would be the issue.
