Title: Compressor Problem?
Post by: 5B Steve on October 31, 2010, 07:17:47 AM

   I noticed yesterday that it has a loud ticking noise that just started or I haven"t noticed before.  Also there is, what looks

  like oil dripping below it running down on the valve cover. There is a long pipe  about the size of your thumb that runs along

the top of the cover. Does the compressor use engine oil for the lubricant ?  Or do I possibly have another problem?

What engine do you have? Is the compressor belt driven or gear driven directly off the engine?  Good Luck, TomC
