  1. We have a 2001 ch613, at work. It’s been our spare since updating the fleet. Still use it to pull our detach lowboy when needed. Recently it’s been really slow to build air. Like 9-10 minutes to build 120 psi idling if it sits a while and tanks are empty.Maintains air well once built up.Is there any check valves in or around the tanks ? Just trying to eliminate anything being blocked or a check valve malfunctioning. Unloaders in compressor are functioning and not stuck .Earlier this year the truck had a new air compressor , governor, drier, and braided discharge line. No leaks in system and drops about 10-20 psi of air overnight. So this may be a stupid question but is the primary and secondary suppose to build air at the same time ?? I swear when we ran it everyday it would build primary tank up first then secondary would begin to fill like most trucks I’ve driven. Idk maybe that’s just me overthinking the situation/problem lol. Have not checked the output of the compressor itself but may be the next step. Ugh Id hate to have to change it being it’s only got maybe 8 trips on it .
  2. IMG_0193.mov My E-7 460 leaking oil from where the compressor mounts to the engine . It’s “bubbling” from the top side . Is this most likely a gasket failed ? I read oil is supplied by the accessory drive . Is there enough pressure there to make oil push or “bubble” out of the top? I figured if it leaked it’d leak out the bottom side . My mind was just thinking could it be a bad compressor pressurizing the crankcase . Hate to change the gasket and blow again. Here’s a pic . Any help appreciated, I claim to be no mechanic just a hobbyist/truck driver . Video attached
