    Can anybody help me out with this problem I am having?
    I have a 2009 Kenworth T660. I am getting alot of oil in my air tanks mostly the primary tank. I am thinking a compressor issue but for me that's just a guess because it makes sense to me. I just do not know what to look for first so if somebody can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    Yes it does appear to have some oily residue at that point like it may be blowing through.

    If your air filters are in need of replacement, they may draw oil into the air system, depending on where the air compressor draws its air from. Worth checking if you haven't recently.

    Check for excessive oil out air drier purge valve. Drier cartridge should be changed. Some oil in discharge line is normal.
