Using air pressure to compress a liquid does the air penetrate or form tiny air bubbles into the liquid And if so at what pressure does that occur?

That depends on the liquid. Air will dissolve at different rates into different liquids at different pressures. Nitrogen, for instance, is completely saturated into water at the pressure of 1 ATM. If you increase the pressure to 2 ATM and wait ~40 minutes, it will be saturated again at twice the concentration.
The gases that make up air may be less soluble in oils but you run the risk of spontaneous combustion as you compress the air. The partial pressure of oxygen in air at sea level pressute is ~20%. If you double the pressure, the partial pressure of the oxyg will double. This results in an oxygen enriched atmosphere.
It is best to not use compressed air to move hydraulic fluid because of foaming, also.

What is compressibility of liquids?
That means how easy it is to compress the liquid - to reduce its volume by applying pressure. Liquids are normally not very compressible.
Earthes outer core us under low pressure?
It is under lower pressure, however, it is under pressure enough to compress it into a liquid.
What will happen when we start putting pressure and compress a gas enclosed in a cylinder and do you think increase and decrease in pressure can change the state of matter?
At high pressure the gas become a liquid.
Why are bubbles released when the bottle or van is opened?
Its trapped carbon dioxide in the liquid in the container. It has been disturbed while in transit from the bottler till you open it. Also~ The bubbles are gas molecules that are trying to escape the low~pressure in the can or bottle.
Which is the hardest to compress?
(see question Which is harder to compress solid liquid or gas)
What is the pressure insides the bubbles of a boiling liquid?
Vapor pressure
What is the pressure inside the bubbles of a boiling liquid?
Vapor pressure
Why does it take an enormous amount of pressure to compress a liquid?
It takes more pressure to compress a liquid than a gas because the molecules in a liquid are already much closer together than the molecules in a gas. To get them even closer requires a great deal of pressure.
What is cavitation parameter?
Cavitation is the process of the formation of vapor bubbles in low pressure regions within a flow. One might imagine that vapor bubbles are formed when the pressure in the liquid reaches the vapor pressure, pV , of the liquid at the operating temperature.

How do you turn butane gas into liquid?
You can compress it to a pressure of 2.5 ATM or cool it past its condensing point which is -0.5 °C.
Why is liquid used in brake lines of cars instead of gas?
Because if you were to fill your brake system with gas, every time you press your brakes, the gas would compress and provide inadequate pressure to the brake pad. Liquid, on the other hand, needs substantially more pressure to compress and is thus more suitable.
What is compressor use for?
compressor is used for compress the gas or liquid to a certain level "Based on design" like In a air-conditioning compressor is used for compress the gas on high temperature and high pressure in the result gas convert to high temperature liquid form.
