When you say air filter, you are talking about the inlet air filter?

If oil is getting out there, then your intake valve may have a problem.

Also, you may have a oil separator issue.

This needs some on site tech support.

Thanks Bill, Got it figured out. The oil was coming out the air inlet. The air filter had the O ring from the Air valve inside of it. I used a portable air compressor to drive the valve and replace the O ring.It sets down inside a groove in the air valve. I was getting some strange Ohm readings from the blow down solenoid. It showed a circuit of 160+- ohms but it would not "ring-out"
unless you tapped on it. I feel that the blow down was working sometimes or slowly. I changed that along w/the O ring and all is well.
Thanks again.
