Hello everyone!
So, I've got a ~1 year old Quincy compressor (total junk, BTW), that's never been overworked and has always been run with synthetic compressor oil in it.
Lately, I've noticed three things about it: 1) The hoses running from it get HOT, as in almost too hot to hold only 1-2 feet away from the tank 2) It takes FOREVER to build pressure, it now runs continuously doing jobs which it used to run intermittently on 3) The oil "bubbles" and "gurgles" when you look at it through the sight glass... It used to only vibrate a little, but now theres clearly air bubbles flying around and popping in there.
Is this normal? I was painting with it when I noticed these things, it used to run my HVLP gun just fine (60 gallon tank) but now runs constantly to feed it. Did I just overheat it somehow, or something? What should I be looking for? I know nothing about air compressor pumps but I suspect something isnt right here. Am I simply clueless? Or what?
Quincy only gives their compressors a 1 year warranty now, which I'm completely under-whelmed by. If this thing needs a new pump, can anyone recommend one?

The draft forces are
