Air Compressor Oil Leak

all the oil is going into the dryer at the moment.

 

How old is that compressor?

 

pull the line off and see if its oily inside . maybe you have oil landing there from elsewhere. that line should not be leaking anything,even if it is pumping some oil.

 

Only one oil supply line t on comp. Look under comp, that 1/4 inch line is it. Oil in the intake of comp is normal and discharge also, it just depends on how much there is that will tell you if it is time to replace.

 

I got 2 cats with that same setup and both of mine look like that also, I however did put new o-rings on the fittings to stop the oil from leaking and making a mess.

 

That line is the taking fresh air from the engine to the compressor. I think what is happening is when the engine is off a little bit of oil is coming back down from the top of compressor and coming down the lines. As long as it's not excessive I would not worry about it both of my engines look like that too till I replaced the o-rings

 

oh,yeah,thats the intake. i was thinking pressure line. i'd pull both lines and look inside them. very easy to do. if the output hose is clean i'd not worry about the compressor. tuflow's are pretty much bullet proof.
