Narrative:
While servicing crew oxygen bottles found red oily watery substance dripping from haskell oxygen booster servicing device. In further investigation I noticed a clear bowl mounted to the haskell booster also had collected red fluid. I shut down operation of oxygen servicing and reported this to my manager.I suspect oil is coming from the hangar shop air compressor used to pump the haskell device.[suggest] an oil-less compressor dedicated for the oxygen room only with an air/oil separator filter.
