You can purchase reproduction drier units for the hitachi compressor on eBay as a complete unit, I ordered one to try as mine is due to be sorted, I’ve had a few of the compressor errors where it doesn’t vent the gallery, arrived in 2 days from China

Possibly someone has had the top off the drier in the past and not tightened correctly

You've probably got the filter all clogged up, which is one of the reasons that the box is available separately. Shouldn't be any problem to put in the new compressor - at least not from that part. The rest of the air suspension is a different matter - as I am now finding out myself Crying or Very sad
