Has anyone experienced this?

I replaced the compressor due to a leaking front seal, replaced the dryer, added the good, thick GM type oil. Pumped the system down, then recharged. Thie was last Wednesday evening. All was good, or so it seemed. Drivinh home Friday evening from work, A/C went from cold, to cool, to warm. So I shut it down and finished the drive home. Pop the hood, and low and behold, very little pressure on the system.

No oil spots found on the areas I worked on, but under neath...the PO's lovely mechanic spliced the discharge line. There was all my oil, and the hose has a nice popped blister adjacent to the splice clamp. Now I need a new dischage line. Any ideas where to find one?

Thanks!
