Oil leak cause?

I just noticed this week a bit of oil on the top of the garber cannister. It appears to be coming from the nipple going into the filter assembly--there's a tiger loop to the right of this. seems to be leaking also at the bottom of the T. this was done less than three years ago. was the right putty used? (nothing has spilled to the floor yet.) At first i thought this might have happened from dripping when the filters were changed but it does look like it's a leak or two. Tank was filled to its absolute approved limit (263gal) recently so pressure might have been more than usual.
thanks,
David

Wipe it clean...
and maybe put cardboard or a pan or something underneath. This way if you find any more oil when you check it later you'll know it's an active leak for sure. Then get back to us with the results.0
