My AC works for 3 days when you charge it. So I put some of that UV dye in it. It looks like someone had it apart and everywhere there is an o-ring they didn't clean the surfaces or replace the o-ring. It is leaking around where the HP line connects to the condenser and on the fitting on the back of the pump. The other side of the condenser fitting looks good, I'm thinking someone put a pump in it and did a poor job.

My question is, what do I wash that crap off with? Does it come off with regular soap and water or do you need acetone or? PAG oil is just like oil right?

ALSO this thing seems to only take so much of a charge. The tag says 1.8 (less than 2 anyway) and at 85 degrees supposed to be about 45 PSI on the low and about 220 PSI on the high side. Well when I try to get 45 it goes back to about 38-40 and the high stays at about 210/220 but doesn't go above like a clogged orifice. Right now I have charged it close to 3 lbs, it is cold but the pressures aren't exactly "right". I'm wondering if the compressor might be lame?
