    Air compressor leaking from both sides in the cooling fin area. Anyone ever seen such? 3 months old.

    I Have an old Muncie M-20 4 Speed that is like that. Sweats 90 wt out of it in no time. Porous castings. I think thats why Eaton Fuller and Rockwell developed that rusty red paint they have on the inside of all the cases and housings. Its more of a sealer.
