No the aux. fan was running and seems to cycle OK. It looked like some freon just escaped through the O ring and then stopped leaking
I was thinking that some kind of blow-off valve released because it stopped venting s rapidly as it started

Maybe the High dump you are referring to? I couldn't find a valve or anything.
Are you saying the high pressure dump could be bad?
I need some gauges and a vacuum pump if I'm gonna keep fooling with this stuff...
I'm sure that with the right tools I could figure it out.
