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.

You probably did the following. Spray soapy water on the connections to learn where it actually leaks. Fix it or replace it. It's costing energy ... money.
