That's interesting,

I had mine evacuated, the receiver dryer replaced, and the system recharged.
(The DPO's left broken for at least 4 years) It has worked fine all
summer -- which is important down here in the land of 98 F, 37C; 90%
humidity.  Anyway, there is compressor oil stains all over the underside of
the compressor, and all around the metal cooling pipe below it.  I have even
seen a drop of oil on the lowest point of this pipe below the compressor.
How can the compressor be leaking so much oil without leaking the R-12?  How
long do I have before it locks up?

Thanks,
Michael Townsend
