ARe oil filled gauges supposed to leak?

[scottsacavsfan]

Why is it that I replace one of these gauges every other week for loseing its oil
Am I supposed to be refillingthese things?
It seems like the low Side gauge leaks more then the high but still I just dont get it
Besides are the oil filled even that much better?

there actually filled with glycerine...they shouldnt leak, but well known for spewing out the little rubber plug on top.

i use them and their cool to look at....but thats it, ant gage will work just fine. just have to be careful bumping them into things.

Don't know if they are supposed to leak, but darn near every one I've ever seen leaked sooner or later.

Yeh the glycol filled gauges suck, there is really no benefit to them, and every one will leak. I would just stick with the regular gauges. I prefer yellow jacket, but I am sure everyone has their preference.

The other thing is I still cant figure out how to refill them when they do leak?
I just end up returning them for warranty.
