I have owned this compressor for 10 years an just yesterday when filling my 105 doubles, as soon as the pressure reaches 2000 psi, it started to leak though the nuts which hold the 3rd stage head in place. I opened it and found no evidence of the cause, neither could understand why the high pressure escapes through the nuts.
A similar failure on my Coltri MCH6 was caused by wear on the 4th stage cylinder, but the air leak would go into the compressor block, increase the internal pressure and cause the oil stick to pop off. It doesn't happen to my varius, although I could see some very light wear marks on the 3rd stage piston. But again, why is that the air escapes through the nuts on the cylinder head, I can't tell. Any one knows?
Thanks.
