I would like to thank everyone for their constructive replys, it's like a think tank, I like that. I'm a newly retired industrial machine mechanic. My A/C skills are not professional, more of a home wanna be. I'm trying to temporaraly avoid another project, too many unfinished ones now. I'm pretty anal when it comes to observing and diagnosing a problem. My oil seepage is definatly an O-Ring at the colored coded control valve, which is located at the very bottom of the compressor (like a sump area). My theory is some uncirculated oil is laying at the bottom of the compressor and is the first to be pushed out, then followed by refrigerant at a faster pace. At the auto store they have a 2oz presurized can of pag oil that I believe I can add at the low side. Has anyone ever used these 2oz cans? What do you think? Also I hope some day I can contribute to someone elses
opportunities. Thank you, Richard
