Default Compressor question

Steve B wrote the following:
I have a Husky upright, not the great big one, but the one about chest high.
Two cyl compressor. I bled the tank today, and got water and a white milky
oily fluid. Checked the dipstick, and it is low. I'll get some Husky oil
today and fill. Do you think I damaged the compressor? Is the white oil in
the tank normal?

TIA

Steve


White milky fluid is a sign of water and oil mixing.
Perhaps the piston rings are worn.
