cody, is it fairly new? our compressors do that if you dont retorque the head after the first 15 hours then 50 hours...

its prolly 5 yrs old so what do you reccomend

where does your air line come out of the tank? Top, bottom, side?

 

[Confedneck79K30]

that will affect it, does your seperator have a drain valve? if so, have you drained it or the tank lately?

 

[Avery4jc]

when I got my 80 gallon compressor I filled it up to 120psi then released the valve on the bottom of the tank and I got a TON of gunk to come out...so I was just thinking that if your line is towards the bottom of the tank and you haven't drained it in a while it could cause that.
