A neighbor was throwing out an air compressor the other day. I grabbed it and brought it home just to have a "project" to mess with. I didn't really expect it to run and sure enough it was locked up. I pulled the crank case apart and found the connecting rod seized to the shaft. Got it apart, cleaned up the parts and put it all back together. IT RUNS....however it is spitting oil out of the crank case plug. This plug is where the oil is added. The plug has a hole in it which I assume it to allow the case to breath but why would oil spit out of it like the video shows? Stumped. Thanks for any help you can provide.
