The air reservoir contains a small amount of oil to minimize corrosion. Some of
the oil may escape through the relief valve or air breather valve during operation.
Therefore, occasional dripping is not considered a malfunction.
Step 1.
Check for damaged gooseneck cylinder air reservoir.
Check for dents, cracks and damage to reservoir. If damaged, notify unit maintenance.
Step 2.
Check that oil is dripping or running from relief valve or air breather/check valve at gooseneck
cylinder air reservoir.
Check air reservoir for leaks. Tighten fittings if necessary. If joint still leaks, notify unit maintenance.
