Air Compressor Oil Leak: Find and Fix

An oil leak lowers the oil level, makes a mess and can damage the machine if it runs low, so it should be fixed quickly.

Common Leak Points

Fittings, hoses, the oil filter, separator housing and gaskets are the usual places oil escapes.

Finding the Leak

Clean the area, run the machine and watch for fresh oil, or use a leak detection spray on suspect joints.

Repairing It

Replace the leaking seal or fitting, check the oil level and confirm the leak is gone after running.
