I restricted the feed to 1/16" and after that, it was perfect. it still is, for that mather.
oh, and iff you got oil on the intake side, double check your air filter. if it's too restrictive, it causes the compressor to suck it's air, creating a vacuum in the compressor, making it suck the oil right out of the seal.
