air compressor drain fluid color

[blackgold]

I recently picked up a used kobalt air compressor, it's the 30 gallon oil one. It's actually a few years older I believe as the motor is a 1.8 and not a 1.6. Anyways, I didn't think anything about it when I bought it but I drained it the next day and noticed the water was white.. looked like milk. The compressor works fine, is quiet, oil in it looks good (going to change it this week anyways). Just wanted to make sure this is normal or what I should be looking at.
Thanks,
Brian

White is the color with air absorbed into the water. Let the water set and the air goes away and then you can see the color of the water. Normal operation to see white water come out of compressor

Ok, my other compressor never did that, maybe this one is just that much better. lol
