I went to look at my front sight glass to check for bubbles in the fluid and it appeared to be pretty greasy around the connections, is this a common symptom of a leak?



thanks fo sheezy

 

looks like dripping engine oil... do you have a leak there?
the freon leaking (if substantial) would be a green color.... at least mine was

 

Thats refrigerant oil b/c oil travels with the refrigerant. Probally just need to get some o-rings perhaps? Not to familiar with automotive air conditioning. I'm a Carrier tech armed with the smarts and the parts. Yeah very corny, I know.

 

Vac the system,buy a dryer,replace the o rings and re-charge.

 

Hey Mason,

Would you mind resizing that pic to at least 800x600?

Thanks!

did ya'all get er fixed?

 

a sign of leak is warm air when a/c is on full

the lines are full of gas, not grease, so grease on the lines indicate nothing

 

wow, that's some great resolution..what kind of camera do you have?

 

I haven't done anything with the drier yet, probably won't since I still decent cold air.

That is a fuji film f40 6meg pixel set on macro, pretty basic lil point and shoot

 

You are totally in the wrong, the refrigerant(gas) travels with the refrigeration oil, so-if there is oil present, that is an indication of a leak.

 

If you can see bubbles in that window you got a leak somewhere. By the looks of that drier it is leaking from the o-rings. Like previously stated: replace o-rings,vac system,recharge with new freon/oil.

 

Resized...
