I have an older (1970's I think) 2 stage speedair air compressor.
The tag says model 32754 or 3Z7542, its a bit hard to tell.
Its your basic 5 hp, twin cylinder in the same head with vertical 60 gal tank.
The only tag on the compressor says TF144925.
The oil in the sight glass looks milky. It was changed a few months ago (again, milky looking oil) and is used very little. The compressor is indoors in a dry environment. Its probably run a few hours at most sense its last oil change. Most of the time it sits idle, with the outlet valve shut.
The tank has a shut off valve at the tank, so I doubt its running a lot when I am away.
I would expect a unit this old to make a little water, but every few hours of operation says something is wrong.
The unit has a small copper line from the outlet side to the crank case and the crank case is vented.
What is likely to be the avenue for water to get into the crank case and what do I do about it.
Who actualy built the compressor and how do I locate parts?
