I would want to know where the metal came from while still under warranty.


Yeah, so would I, but since it's Harbor Freight, the warranty was about 35 seconds... (actually, I've had it over a year, $150 compressor) It was just a tiny flake, maybe a paint type flake, but enough to let a crack of air in. The guys on the Garage Journal (great web forum, btw)said I'll need to clear that from dirt/grit every couple of months.

I just buttoned her all back up, letting the pipe compound dry on the joints. Hopefully air-tight by tomorrow AM.
