... The sump is in the compressor, correct? How would i oil that? This is why i originally wanted to go with the york due to its internal oil. Would eliminate all of these problems.
How long have you been using that Sanden? Any problems yet?
The Sanden's sump (or crankcase) is the main body, there is usually an oil fill plug on the side of the case. They come filled with ~5.5oz of oil from the factory, they are an oil lubricated pump. The York uses the same oiling system but due to design, has a more conventional crankcase layout.
Pull a Sanden apart and although unconventional in layout it is still a piston pump, but what drives the piston is just a wee bit different. It just doesn't use a traditional type crankshaft layout ... but the (sump, or crankcase, or oil reservoir) is all there.
