Why is my compressor spitting oil?
Restricted intake - Oily discharge is often caused by restrictions on the compressor's air intake. In cases such as these, the air filters either need to be cleaned or replaced altogether. ... Overfilled oil tank - If the compressor has too much oil, some of that excess can seep into the discharge.2
What happens if you put too much oil in air compressor?
However, filling your compressors oil sump to the top can cause significant internal damage to your unit. When excess amounts of oil become aerosolized by the compressor's discharge, it can cause damages not only to your compressor, but to any pneumatic tools and accessories that are hooked up to your compressor.
