Does this leaks oil in storage or during use

Mine hasn't...mine only came with the oil spilled all over it...the oil bottle that they sent leake in transit

so far, mine has not leaked at all and I use it maybe 2-3 times per year. I think it depends on a good seal and heavy grease. I have had other guns with lighter grease installed that were a mess. So far, this has been fine. HTH!

Mine leaks like crazy. It will drain the whole reservoir on the shop floor if I set it down normally. The only thing I've been able is to store it so that it is laying with its oil cap and gas (+oil) cap facing the ground. I wish I had gotten something without the oil leakage and more professional strength instead. As far as oil consumption during use, a tank of gas might last 30 minutes and at that point it has used a full tank of oil as well.

The heating element is in the cord. I did not drain oil until it cooled but dont believe you would have a problem with it.

I prefer storing the oil in glass, especially dark glass. I use the 2 liters in a month and often store portions of it in different dark glass containers.

the container itself would likely hold cooled oil (not hot grease), but the lid is not airtight, especially with the pour spout. The lid is tight enough that liquids do not seep from the rim, only from the spout. Hope this helps you to judge for your purposes!

Heating element is buried into the bottom and well... the oil should only be drained when the oil has cooled... so if the oil is hot of course your drain hose will be hot.

No, you do not have to remove the oil between uses, I leave it in there indefinitely, and continue to fill it as needed

As per the manual and operating instruction, yes. I have not tested the theory on the oil, but have had the unit shut off due to low water supply (kink in the hose).

Just a slight little squeeze gives you a small drop of oil. So, it doesn't just spill out all over the place and make a mess. It is controllable. Then I store it up rather than keeping it on it's side when not in use. I use it for classical guitar tuners.

No. What I do is wait till the oil cools then pour it into a glass measuring cup and wash it out. After u dry the unit pour the oil back into the unit but only the clear oil. I clean after each use and bring up to oil line and this is good for at least 4 times than I start with new oil. I bought this for my son and had to tell him the same thing and it saves on oil. Note Do not do this if cooking fish it holds the taste.

As long as the correct top is on the oil dispenser I do not have a problem with my bottle. I also kept the silver seal on the bottle and made a small slit in it. Try using some plumbers tape on the threads if it is leaking. Good luck.

I have the same problem. It takes some more cap tightening after the oil leaks. The oil lubricates the threads so if you use more force the leak will stop.

No you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

I use light vegetable oil. works perfect. I have not had it leak out sitting, but I have only owned it for about 6 months.

I guess I don't understand about the oil. I just add a drop or two through the pressurization valve every time before connecting it to compressor hose. The seals on my unit are just great, so I cannot be of any help.

I have not used the container I bought yet. But, I normally do not keep used, filtered oil for more than a month.
