Kidde Compressor leaking bad and won't fill

[SentinelAce]

I have had this unit only maybe 7 months. All of a sudden it's spitting out oil as you can see in this video. Does anyone have any tips on how I can fix this? The only thing that has changed was I added more Jet oil like I always do.

I am just doing a few things for testing before I ship this to him. If i remove the whip, it works fine and doesn't spit any oil. I am wonder in the whip is bend as a tank fell over with the whip connected before this started. I have ordered a new whip. Hopefully that solves it.

I don't think that is is a whip problem as that just means you have no back pressure
