Oily condensate from a compressor is normal in oil-injected machines, but it must be handled and can also signal carryover.
Why Condensate Is Oily
Oil-injected compressors pass a little oil into the air, which collects in the water that condenses downstream.
Proper Disposal
Use an oil-water separator to clean condensate before discharge, meeting environmental rules.
Excess Oil Signals
Heavy oil in the condensate can mean a worn separator or high oil level, which should be investigated.
