I had my stuffing box professionally packed. At first, I had the normal drip rate, but after a few weeks the stuffing box stopped dripping completely when running the engine for about 30 minutes at a time. If the engine (diesel) runs for a couple of hours, it goes to the normal drip rate. I rarely run the engine more than 30 minutes. Should I be concerned? Thanks for your thoughts.
