AC compressor leaking

    AC compressor leaking

    I lost my AC last year after the VG33 swap even though we left all the refrigerant lines hooked up and bungy corded the compressor out of the way.

    Pressure checked the system today and the compressor is leaking refrigerant like a sieve. Is it better to rebuild/ repair it or find a used compressor?

    Thanks.

    I converted my OEM system to 134a five years ago. Had a leak that dumped a 12 oz can in about 1 week and I didn't want to spend big bucks on a new system. I found my leak somewhere on the condenser. After some research I decided to try this stuff.

    Its been 3 years without any issues. I live in Florida so the AC gets a workout. Between this stuff and Freon, it was under $100 to get it working again
