I changed the piston seal on the compressor about 6 months ago, can't remember where I got it from (it's beige in colour), but also changed the cylinder and O ring seals. The piston seal now seems to be failing, there's low pressure from the pump. On examination, the seal appears to be wearing as there was beige dust inside the pump and cylinder head, but the seal is not split, the cylinder liner looks fine, however the lip of the seal does appear hard and quite inflexible, it's not sealing very well inside the cylinder, hense low air presure. Anyone come across this type of failure?
