Man I feel for you.... Here you try to do everything right and old MURPHY rears his ugly head.
I would try to take your BEST educated guess and add the amount of oil you think you lost. I think you wouldn't go wrong to add 2oz.of oil. Too much oil and the efficency goes down, too little and you risk the compressor. I would also recharge the system to specs as far as the amount of R134. Running the system low on refrigerant works the compressor harder. Buy a new set of hoses for your A/C gauge manafold.
I NEVER mind trying to help guys when they ask for help on their other wheels. Good luck. Chris
