Spurting Oil?

Hi I am not super familiar with this tool. I set up the compressor with a simple hose and blow gun to check if it would work. The compressor turns on but when I squeeze blow gun nothing comes out. I also noticed that it is spurting bits of oil or grease out the back and I'm thinking I may be missing a part. I tried to get a replacement parts but the websites I saw doesn't isolate a cap maybe?
