The motor oil. Air compressors are typically an integral part of the motor housing, are gear driven, and are lubricated in the same manner as other engine components. A belt drive compressor (of the sort used typically on gasoline engines or retrofitted to a vehicle) will usually be sealed.

Where is the compressor for air brakes for 93 Lincoln Town Car located?
A Lincoln Town Car uses hydraulic brakes, not air brakes.

Why compressor on air brakes runs hot?
If it's running too hot, the compressor may be spending too much time in the loading cycle.
How do you install an Isuzu air brakes compressor?
To install an Isuzu air brakes compressor, first, ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secured. Disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the compressor. Install the new compressor by aligning it with the mounting brackets, securing it with bolts, and reconnecting any air lines and electrical connections. Finally, check for leaks and ensure proper operation by testing the air brake system before reassembling any removed parts.
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.
How the work air brakes?
Air brake systems have a belt driven air compressor on the motor that feeds an air tank. The air tank has a "pop off valve" that lets off air pressure so the tank doesn't over fill with air. The air tank is connected to the brakes with tubes. In modern air brake systems the brakes are held open by the air pressure that fights springs that push the brakes closed. This is so if the system fails ( loses air pressure ) the brakes will be applied. When the operator depresses the brake peddle the air pressure is released from the brakes and the springs push them against the drum or rotor.
How do air brakes get there compressed air?
There's an air compressor mounted to the engine. That compressor charges one (or several) tanks. Air from the primary system is fed continuously to the emergency chamber of the spring brake chambers - this provides hold off pressure to release the spring brakes. When the treadle valve (brake pedal valve) is depressed, air from the primary air system (and usually the secondary air system for the front axle) is routed to the service chamber of the brake chambers, and this usually rotates and S cam to push the brake shoes out into the brake drum (although specifics at this point will differ with disc brakes and piston brakes).

Would you use more fuel using air brakes in a truck or not?
Somewhat, yes. Air is supplied to the system via an air compressor... on medium- and heavy duty trucks, these compressors are typically gear driven directly from the engine, thus creating a parasitic drain on the engine. If you had an electric compressor, this wouldn't be an issue.
