The other day I noticed my A/C compressor had a little green stuff dripping off of it. At first I thought it was anti-freeze, and then I smelled it. No sir, that was PAG oil.
Thus far I've had zero issues with the A/C. It gets the cab cold like a meat locker, same as always. So I am pretty confident all I need to do is replace the compressor. I have a little experience with A/C, but nothing major. I'm fairly certain there is no quick fix to remedy the leak, right? These "sealers" seem like a gimmick to me. With that said, my questions are; how do I introduce the PAG oil into the compressor, when do I introduce it, and how do I know how much?
Like I say, I've never done any A/C work to this extent. But I'm confident I can do it with a little instruction. I love wrenching, and would really like to add this to my repertoire.
Thanks!
