Air compressor maintenance
I have a Devilbliss 90 gallon compressor, 208v electric drive to piston commercial type compressor. It's been faithful for the last ten years of heavy use and I want to keep it that way.
My question is that it's getting a bit loud, and I have some evidence of oil leaking from the piston head to air line connections. This would seem to be "maintenance" type stuff to me? Should I call a local place that services compressors to come out and service it? Or is this a DIY type thing that anyone can tackle?

They are not hard to service.
Also make sure you drain the tank on a regular basis. Water builds up in there and its not good...

Maybe I can order and replace the various seals for the pipes, change the oil, and replace the belt and be done with it?
