Just wanted to say thanks for your recommendations and help! That's why i love this site! I borrowed a siphon sprayer from a neighbor and flushed my system over and over again. Replaced receiver/dryer, expansion valve and compressor and all new orings on all fittings that were broken. Put in some mineral oil and just had the old girl charged with R-12 and she's blowing ice cold....especially nice here in the desert!!
