Do a dye check on the system. There have been many problems with the o-rings at the connections. Some of the AC guys just put a little dino oil on them when replacing them and they will swell due to a chemical reaction.

i checked the charge to see if it had anything left in it, about 50 psi static on a 55 degree day, and i did find dye on the caps. so when i get time to look it shouldnt be too bad.

Regular motor oil, not synthetic. Dino as in dinosaur.

you should never do anything to possibly contaminate a refigerant system, that would fall into that category. the air works good in the deisel so she will have to drive it til i get it fixed.
