I have just had a new Weil McLain steam boiler installed. At first, there was a slight oil smell coming from the boiler and radiators, but skimming has decreased the smell. I now am experiencing a constantly dirty sight glass. I have to clean it every 2-3 days. There is always a heavy oil residue on the upper and lower sight glass fittings that I clean out every 2-3 days as well. I know Weil McLain is famous for coating the inside of their new units with oil, but is the constantly dirty glass w/ oil residue normal as well??

Thanks in advance
