If you have a leak somewhere in the system, the compressor will run much longer than it was designed to, and literally overheat itself.

Get some dish soap and some water, put it in a squirt bottle and spray down all the lines, shocks, and air springs... look for bubbles.

According to many in this forum, it may also depend on where you got the compressor. Some have reported that Arnott Industries compressors fail early.
