compressor
#1

On my way to a campsite in Matagorda Bay and noticed a cloud of white smoke when taking off from a stop.
Pulled over and found coolant coming from between head and cylinder of air compressor. No water in oil, air pressure was good and no alarms, and vspmc said water temp was about 205. 
Of course, no techs or service available at steward stevenson, if anyone has had this problem, can I get away with just a new gasket, or am I better off trying to find a new compressor?
Thanks, Jim 409 771 6427

Thanks, used to sob's with no support so did not even think about it , Mike agreed with my diagnosis and said replace compressor and regulator valve just to be sure. 
Bye the way, got call back in 6 min. on a sat night. Great to have a Newell.
