I had some dye injected, then put enough R-12 in to push some dye out. It came out @ manifold to compressor block.
so... removed compressor with hoses connected and then replaced the 4 o-rings under the block and the 2 o-rings under the hose manifold. Put everything back in, changed out the accumulator drier (with new o-rings at all connections), pulled a vacumn, then charged back with good old R-12.

BLOWS COLD!!!!
