Rivet Gun purging oil

I finally set my first string of flush rivets (~85) for the HS skin and noticed that my hand slowly got a sheen of tool oil from the discharge port of the rivet gun. It was just enough to be annoying because the gun got let stable in my hand over time. Is that normal? Might there just be too much oil in the gun. I usually put 2 drops in after each use, but to date each use has been rather limited so perhaps I've over oiled it and this is how it telling me.

Its an ATS pro 3X gun.
 
Too much oil !

Back off and put a couple drops in every 3 sessions, should be fine. Drill is same - will spew out over your fingers...

Remember - DO NOT oil a pneumatic squeezer :eek:
