One of our robots, an arcmate 120iB, is leaking grease very slowly from where J5 gets greased. Not leaking around the bolt but actually leaking from the edge of the J5 cover plate. I don't want to take the cover off and have everything spill out but I was wondering if there might be a rubber seal around the cover that I can replace or would I need to replace the cover itself?

There's a rubber seal.
Just turn the gear up side and take off the cover - in that position, not so many grease will spill out.

Well... I'm not sure whether it exists... sorry...
I've found part number for the cover, which is A290-7216-X524, but there's no part number for the rubber seal. And unfortunatelly, I don't remember whether it's fixed to the cover or not, could be fixed.
What I'd do is, to take off the cover and check.
You can always make the seal from a plain rubber using the scissors, I've done it many times and it works

Might want to remove grease zerts and drain plugs before removing cover to release any pressure.

No, if properly geased before, there shouldn't be any pressure. It's not the RV reducer, just gears inside, so no problem with pressure.

You said "if".
