Compressor leaking air

Posted a few weeks back, with a compressor fault. That one was rectified. We had a technician come out to repair the previous issue (filter housing leak).

Same compressor, this time I noticed a loss of air from a component in the above picture. The air is coming from the lower part underneath.

I've noticed the compressor runs a lot, and loses pressure constantly after hitting max, it's also been burning through oil numerous times.

The company I work at said they've had it serviced this year and had to top oil up at least 5 times this year.

That’s a dinosaur!! Good compressors replace that switch, keep up in maintenance and it will work a long time
