    Do the test I stated in my first post with the engine and compressor at operating temp. This test will show if the compressor is passing oil or not.

    From what I see it doesn't look bad. Is the inside of intake tube wet?

    Yea just a little . It ussually has a leak at that elbow piece on the intake side u can’t see it because o wiped it . But with that disconnected it was splattering a good amount but just did it like twice .

    The line that comes out of governer is all covered in oil . My air drier all covered as well. And my tanks drains oil for about 3 second but it’s tick like if I wiped it off dipstick . If it’s coming from engine what am I looking at ??

    That explains all the blow by and oil consumption right? Or I heard compressor can cause those symptoms as well. I didn’t think engine was problem last guy I bought it said it been rebuild not to long ago. Like I said engine consumption and blow by occurred from one week to another
