Need help with blower issue

[carpetman727]

I recently changed my blower oil, set the levels at the half way point of the sight windows. After a few days I checked the levels and one of the sight windows shows almost empty and the other shows full to the top. It's in a 2012 Hydramaster CDS 4.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

was your TM on level ground? was the blower running when you checked the oil level?- this would lower the amount seen in the glass

No, it was on level ground, machine hadn't been running since the previous day

Check it with a level to make sure it's flat.

Maybe there was an air pocket in drain hose and after a little more time the oil that was in the site glass drained to fill that air pocket?
Refill again and that might solve the problem.
Remember-- after any oil change, the instructions are to check the oil level again after a day or two.
