Well. I took Arthur's suggestion, pushed the valve in, and released it. IT STOPPED Leaking. I don't think however that I am out of the woods yet. I also need to change my defective, high pressure switch, and for that of course they would need to evacuate and recharge the system. At that point they will be connecting their AC gauge hoses, so the leaking valve may manifest itself again.

Can the system be legitimately recharges without using a high pressure gauge? Also, my rebuilt compressor came with a Schrader valve built-in. Not sure what that its for, but could the high pressure gauge be connected there instead?

One last thing. Can I get away with only one working cooling fan. The second fan is defective.
