Yeah, thats what mine did, youll have to install a moisture seprator on your 
compressor.. use iron plumbing so as much moisture can condense on it as 
possible.. you might try moving compressor into a heated shop if 
possible...Put a radiator drain on the bottom of your compressor and blow it 
out daily, this will solve 70% of the problem..hth..dan
