A friend owns a junk yard and he gave another compressor and it leaked after a couple days in same spot. Now have 3rd unit on and doing the same thing. Do these go bad here or am I doing something wrong? Help me out before I spend money needlessly.
when replacing the compressor did you replace the seals and place some refrigerent oil on them...also are you sure that you have enough refrigerent oil....you will use pag 150....use of other oils will damage the seals and cause other problems..
