Tyler,
Good to hear that the fix looks to be relatively simple.
I would think that you will have to re-center the core inside the tank.
At the voltages involved, a few layers of varnish are not going to
provide adequate insulation. Distance from the can and lots of oil are
what you will need to prevent further breakdown.

Guess what guys! I pulled apart my transformer tonight and found a tiny burn mark on the outer wrap of HV side. I opened the paper it was right next to the end and there is one tiny little dot on one wrap of wire. What I found out happened was when this transformer got its bushing hit by a fork lift it shifted the core and it was sitting on the tank and it burned a small dot through the paper and was grounding onto the can. A good couple of coats of electrical varnish should fix it right up... man I’m so happy good end to a Friday!
