A few years ago I rebuilt my Dash Air. I replaced the hoses, flushed out the evaporator and condenser and replaced the compressor. Last summer the compressor started leaking oil out the front and back. When i took it out of storage this year the compressor would not come on. I verified the pressure and it had just 5psi on the low side. This is actually the second rebuilt compressor I have replaced, the first one was dead on arrival, would never hold a vacuum. Anyway, I'm done with rebuilt compressors so I just ordered the new "S6" that Jimk sells.
So I was reading the post about AC Diagnosis and I saw a post mentioning anytime the system is opened you need to flush they system. I also read in the MM something similar. So I'm asking if those in the know could tell me if this is really necessary? I know I need to pull a vacuum for a leak checks and remove any moisture ( I was also planning to replace the drier since it is fairly cheap). For sure if it is necessary and/or a good practice I will do it.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
