I recently replaced my compressor- installed the new O rings and drier- flushed the lines, evaporator and condenser. Put in 10 oz of mineral oil and 3 cans of Duracool.
Ran the system an got outlet air temp down to 40F. Thought all was well.
Over night Duracool leaked out enough that the compressor won't turn on.
Small amount of oil on the back of the new compressor just below the line connection led me to believe that the O rings were not sealing. Removed the O rings and installed another pair and vacuumed system.
Vac Pump will take it down to 30 in hg but it will not hold once the pump is removed.
I have some Dura Cool Oil Chill- a leak detector dye to use when I get back home.
I have seen no evidence of leak any where in the system except rear of the compressor- Evap, cond, hoses and all connections were clean and dry before I started the project and still are.
If new O rings are leaking what is the solution? Another compressor? New lines?
Any suggestions? Or comments?
Thanks
