[C320-list] correct stuffing box adjustment

Can anyone advise on the drip rate for a properly adjusted stuffing box. I was only able to get 1 drop every 15 to 30 seconds when the shaft was not spinning. However I could not see any drips at all once the engine was in gear and the shaft spinning (2,500 RPMs)

I figured 1 drop every few seconds when still was a better bet than no drips at all, as I don't want anything to overheat.

Any insights much appreciated... Peter
