So I added 5 quarts but got busy and forgot about checking the level and adding more till 2 weeks ago, so I checked the level and added about ¾ of quart… few days ago I noticed an oil leak, I got under the RV and saw the leak was forming around the AC compressor belt, is that normal after oil change? Does that mean I overfilled it? Could it be different type of leak? Or is it a sign of something more serious? Take into consideration I have not drove or moved the RV, I have been hooked up for the last 5 months Ranger Smith • View posts Wherever the rig is parked Senior Member Joined: 05/13/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/15/21 03:29pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator A picture might help Where we are now Amateur Radio Operator N1JS . . .

If not then it got spilled when you put the oil in if you put it in at the engine. As stated engine oil does not go thru Compressor. Is the oil drip clear or the color of engine oil. CA Traveler • View posts The Western States Senior Member Joined: 01/03/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/15/21 04:11pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator A/C compressors do contain some oil, but make sure the leak isn't above the pully. Are you sure you didn't spill some oil during the oil change? The belt to the right appears dry which might suggest the leak occurred since the engine was last run because the belt on the compressor is wet. 2009 Holiday Rambler 42' Scepter with ISL 400 Cummins 750 Watts Solar Morningstar MPPT 60 Controller 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland Bob ScottG • View posts Bothell Wa.

Like others have suggested, you probably spilled a little. 2019 Horizon 42Q Maxum Chassis w/tag Cummins L-9 450 HP / Allison 3000 2006 Jeep TJ and 2011 Chevy Traverse Tows Sir Traveller • View posts La Mesa Southern California New Member Joined: 03/19/2018 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/18/21 12:36pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I am sure I didn't spill any during the oil change, also I noticed the leak after over a week from the last time I added oil it looks like engine oil but not sure yet, I just put paper-towels under to see the actual color of the leak, it drips very slowly, about 1 drop every coupe of hours Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 3   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Class A Motorhomes  >  Maintenance Issues & Tips  > oil leak
