Just bought an air compressor to use air tools on my jk, I've never used an air compressor lol first time buyer, well I got it off CL and I've had it in my car laying not completely sideways but it's slanted big time, I'm worried about the oil leaking into the head and it not working!!! Is this most likely what has happened? I haven't started it yet and plan to wait 24 hours, any tips or insight on this? I hope I didnt blow 250 on a broken compressor!

 

First off, what kind of compressor is it? Some compressors on the market are oil-less, making mounting on any angle allowable. Now, if it isn't an oil-less compressor, I am not sure on what the outcome will be if the oil has leaked into areas it shouldnt have.

Hope you find the answer to your problem and hope you didn't ruin the compressor....

 

It's got oil lol
