Picked up this nice frankenstein featuring a Quincy 210 ROC3 and a Century 1.5hp motor. There's no unloader on the pump or in the pressure switch. Hand writen notes on the pressure switch say 120 in, 150 out. 
No rusty water came out of the drain, but I did get more water than I'd like. So, hydro test is up before we go any further. Meanwhile I might move the pump to another tank.
Quincy didn't have much data on file. It seems to be 1969 to 1971 vintage. I compared it to a QR-210 & that's capable of 4.8 acfm at 100psi, 1.5hp motor, and pump rpm of 691.
Oh yea, a broken foot. Anyway, the subject, leaking oil. There's some seepage from that little brass plug on the lower right of the pump. Just above the right mounting bolt, just right of the lower right oil pump cover bolt. I think this is a plug from cross drilling the oil passages to the hydraulic unloader valve mounting surface. You can just make this out on the right side of the pump, a few slotted head screws. There's an identical plug on the right side, which I think completes the drilled passages. The problem is that these plugs weep a bit of oil when running.
What do you imagine is the best way to solve this? I could try to dimple the plugs a tiny bit. I could pull them, tap, and insert a setscrew with some sealant. I don't really want the chips from drilling and tapping if I can avoid it. I could JB Weld. WDYT?
