Leaking Expert 120

Leaking some oil? What could possibly be the source?

It seems to be something to do with the breakdown of the thermal pad between the Devialet components and the outer case.

If oil is leaking from the screws in the “belly pan” of the amp, because of the position of the thermal pad, it seems that the oil must travel through the electronic components of the amp to reach the bottom. I would think that the amp needs to be returned to Devialet for a strip down and repair. I wouldn’t feel safe turning the amp on or even having it connected to a power supply for fear of damaging the amp or even worse an electric shock. Please don’t take any chances, @graemeharrison
