For the linear rail to get rust were the bearings run, it sounds like it was not getting enough lubrication

I used cimcool for a total of 2 days in one tryout in a Haas machine, & dumped it, If you want some I can ship it to you for the shipping cost, I also ran another coolant Greencut for 2 years, & it almost destroyed the machine, similar to what has happened to your machine, is your Fadal a linear rail machine,or the box way there is a big difference

It also sounds like the way covers are not doing what they are there for, are the ballscrews Ok, some of the Fadal machines had a one piece way cover for the Y axes so this would never be a problem for those machines with a one peice way cover
