Boneheaddoctor I thought about that too. It was probly a crappy reman and leaked from day one. If I have to fix it, I'll examine the shaft for wear. Back in my younger days I remember when we tore down our low budget hot rods and found a groove worn on the front of the crank we would just put the new seal not quite all the way seated so it would ride on the undamaged part of the crank, maybe I can do that with the compressor seal? Sure worked good on the old 455 Olds.
If the bearings are bad, I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell, and, I probly won't be able to do anything about it anyway. So if they appear sloppy maybe it is time for another compressor?
Thanks for all the help this forum is great.
