Smoke from the pump

Morning guys, I hope somebody can help me.
Does anybody know why during the normal use, there's a lot of smoke that comes out from the pump?
When I started to use it, there was too much oil in, so that I reduced its level to normal, but the smoke still comes out.
While it works, I see some oil coming out from the cap, despite it is well tighten.
Do you think it is too powerful (it is a one stage 70l/h) so that there's the need of a power reducer?
Thanks

Quando fa fumo bianco dal tappo dove si inserisce l'olio vuol dire che il sacco non è perfettamente sottovuoto e ci son delle perdite, e continuerà a farlo finché non lo sigilli bene. Inoltre nel momento in cui il sacco è privo di perdite cambia proprio il rumore che fa la pompa..controlla se ci son delle perdite, se non le trovi entro 10 min rifai il sacco da capo, è meglio non perderci troppo tempo Smile
