Hello folks I have a few questions about the cornelius 130r1500 compressor. If any of you have one please chime in. I have been using my little compressor for a little over a year. It runs good and pumps to 3000 but it gets pretty warm and it also blows a bit of air out of the oil cap vent hole when running and shutting down. Is this normal for these? When running I took temp readings from various places. Here is what they are in F: Motor housing 155, Third stage outlet 185, 2nd stage outlet 170, first stage outlet 160. I use Mobil jet 2 oil or Lube V equivalent. The motor temp worries me and could not find any info in the manual about running temps. I use this in my basement at 70 degrees and 55% RH as the summer temps and humidity here are pretty high. Thank you
