They have an upgrade for the compressor hose that replaces the steel tube & hose with a braided line to fix the pulling threads out of compressor issue.greasehorn and spsauerland Thank this.

Hi I'm new here and just looking around a bit and noticed this thread about the air compressor leaking oil funny thing is I have the exact same year truck converter over to a single turbo and I can not get it to stop leaking oil out the dryer
it's a 2008 peterbilt 389 c15 cat
And here's what I have done so far
Changer air compressor 3 times
Changed the air intake from the main air intake before the turbo to just a filter right on the compressor figured maybe it was starving for air and that didn't make a bit of difference
Switched the air compressor intake to pressure side of the engine intake and still the same lots of oil coming out the dryer and when the wind was blowing just right it would cover the side of the truck in oil so I ended up putting a hose over the dryer exhaust and routed it under the truck
So if you ever get it figured out let me know -
Swap the air compressor back to a bendix. I can post the cat procedure if you want it. The cat air compressors on the SDP's are junk.
Pete friessen, spsauerland, Shawn2130 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I have a Cat compressor on the 1998 3406E, it leaks all over.
Bendix is better.Pete friessen and SAR Thank this. -
Inside valve cover where blow by tube starts remove that cover and you will find steel mesh to catch oil and few holes so oil drips down in side. If its too much oil replace the cover ,cats solution to seperate crank case fumes and engine oil.
