Mine was putting out 7.8psi when I checked it vs 16 bar when healthy and that was after it had a "bagpiping andy" replacement seal kit applied to it, and it was causing the compressor to run for too long as it tried to top up the system. This in turned caused the orange light to come on when the compressor stopped due to over heating. Changing it for a new one has resolved all issues but the label file was helpful in being able to test the old compressor first etc.
