In doing my repair of the a/c system on my 1993 190e, I found that the pin in the schrader valve on the condensor was bent by the 134a adapter. When I take off the quick-disconnect fitting there is a small leak directly out the valve, so I have simply left it on while searching for leaks in the other parts of the system. I am simply retrofitting to check for leaks, as I filled with POE oil and am possitive the system is now leak free. I used good quality valve adapters so I am confused as to why this happened, but really need to know what I should do! If I take off the quick-disconnect fitting it will knowingly leak out, I don't want to do that. If I have it evacuated, will the oil also be evacuated? Or is the oil unaffected by leaks and/or evacuation? Thanks for any guidance
