    I have a 98 Pete & recently found oil in the suspension leveling valve. Also drained oil from tank supplying the air ride. Is it the air compressor

    Find your foot valve and see if oil is running out of the EX. port if yes its every where, just listen for leaks and hope it passes thru after you replace air direr cartage.

    Oil attacks the seals in the valves.
    So to answer your question..........all the airvalves on your truck.
    That's why it is never a good idea to wait till a compressor breaks.
    And i have known a O/O selling his truck because off oil in the system.

    Lets hope you get lucky .

    Well,I ck'd air compressor & its fine. Here's the kicker, oil has only been in tank that supplies air bags. Other 2 tanks & air lines,valves r clean. How can that be?
