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...

I discharge and drain at the beginning of each summer, it's very dry here in Colorado so thankfully I don't get a lot of water in the tank.

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