well.... i replaced the expansion valve..... thought i pulled a vacuum....

i started to put refrigerant in on the low side..... i hear air escaping around the expansion valve...

i have now had tightened, loosened , tightened the expansion valve several times.... put in new o-rings....

still.... sounds like air escaping from valve.... however..... it's not cold around the expansion valve....like you might expect if refrigerant was leaking....

i am stumped.... this is taking too long.
