Hi all - i have a older military surplus mako 3 stage compressor - had it rebuilt several years ago and usually only log about 600 hours a year on it - the unit runs great - i change out my filter (x65248) and my 36 inch drying stack at the beginning of the year and never have an issue with anything - the two stage condensate collectors are drained often during and right after pumping air - the units oil is checked prior to starting the electric motor and is usually very clear - recently i noticed the oil becoming hazy - so i drained it and was upset to find there seemed to be some water (not alot mixed in the oil) - i then changed the oil and again after only a about 10 hours the oil became hazy again - i again changed it, and pulled the filter (x65248), and realized it was wet, not dripping, but wet - I then pulled my drying stack and it was fine - i changed out the filter, bled down the supply line to the filter and had some oily water come out and changed the oil once again - the unit is running now and seems fine - what am i doing incorrectly - am i not draining the condensate collectors often enough - they r never full and i drain them often without being lazy - i have been pumping air during very humid weather,does this have a big effect? - please any input would be great
thanks in advance
