ARB Twin Air Compressor

[GoISU]

Has anyone seen the Twin Air Compressor weep any oil? Mine weeps clear oil from the top just under the quick coupler. Haven’t used it for more than airing up a bicycle and it’s mounted under the hood with the Slee bracket if that makes a difference.

I have the portable model ( suitcase ) and never happened to me .. what it happen time to time ( and reason for ARB to use an alum tank in this portable version ) it's it will get moisture inside from humidity .. but t hey don't use any oil at all ..

@TRD Burglar I vaguely recall some random oil from his unit while in Baja. Also had some trouble with one of the lockers not engaging but I don't recall the specifics or what the issue ended up being.

Is is operating a locker via a manifold?
Or just used for air-up?

That’s why I asked if it was operating an air locker via a manifold. I believe the oil on his rig may have been due to diff oil coming up and out—perhaps due to clogged diff breathers + some other entry point. Don’t know. Maybe ask Mark Meholic if he got a resolution. I also recall, though, that Mark had an issue with his compressor in general prior to that.

It is not hooked up to lockers. I’ve heard that they are overfilled from the factory? Gotta get the excess out over a few cycles? No loss in functionality thus far. Only weeps oil when powered on and pressurized.

I've not seen anything like that on mine, and its seen plenty of use--including extremely hot conditions.

Same location under the hood...
