The amount of oil leaking is nothing likef what you imagine. It's just a few drops here and there. In fact, per Norco, there will be a point it won't drip anymore as part of the problem with these gear boxes were that they are overfilled. It just took the little bit of seepage to react to the TPO membrane. Now that the drip pans are in place, there will not be future issue.
This is why petroleum products don't play nice with thermoplastic olefin. Having a few drops remain on the roof surface causes the membrane to weaken, stretch, and bubble. The Norco rep also told me that only coaches with TPO slide roofs have been affected. Other roofing materials don't react to the lubricating oil.
