There maybe air in the system, and its gathering in the compressor. That would be my guess, take it to a certified vehicle air condition specialist or your dealer.

How do you lubricate the compressor for air brakes?

In a gear driven compressor which is integral to the engine (as is the case with heavy duty trucks), you don't - the motor oil flows through the compressor, lubricating it. That's why it's also a telltale sign that the compressor is bad if you bleed the air tanks and have oil coming out.
