Default ARB air locker oil leak

Hi, I'm new on JK-Forum.

I have a problem regarding my ARB air locker and I want help from you guys.

Well, I've installed an ARB air locker in my JK 2012 and after a while I noticed there is some oil leaking from the air compressor. I went to ARB garage and they changed the O-ring and I drive back to home and again I noticed the oil still leaking from the Compressor. I mailed them and they reply to me to do some steps, but before I go for the steps they've provide me is there anyone face this problem before, what could be the problem of oil leaking from the compressor.

Are you sure it is oil and not differential fluid? If it is diff fluid, you should be able to tell by smelling it. It could be that your diffs are over full (you can check your breather tubes as well). I have had this happen on hot wheeling days, generally I let the rig cool down and the diff fluid stops backing up the line.

Hi

Yes it is diff oil. I went to through ARB steps and I dry the air compressor pipes from diff oil, then I engaged the rear locker and front one but still the oil is leaking, I went to normal garage and I asked to remove the blue air pipes and closed the hole by a nut, no headache and no leak:-)
