Re: correction to air conditioning question
If you are low on refrigerant, and you recharge the system only to find
that it still leaks out of the compressor seals, try running it for awhile,
and recharge again. What happens it that the o ring seals require constant
oil to remain sealed. Sometimes, people don't use it for a long period of
time, like all winter,storage, and the seals dry out. Running it for
awhile may allow the seals to absorb some oil, and re-seal themselves.
This isn't very EPA friendly, but alot cheaper than replacing the
compressor or seals. I recomend only attempting this if you know it is the
seals that are leaking. I wouldn't keep recharging it hoping it was the
seals, but it's the most likely cause as long as no one has tampered with
the system, or damaged it. Sometimes it may take a few re-charges. Any
more than 3 or 4 and I'd be looking at new parts.
