[DML] Re: freeze 12

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You do not have to replace all those parts. I would find the leak and
fix it (it is probably one of the long hoses usually the one on the
left, the discharge hose). Then I would replace the oil in the
compressor, clean the orifice tube, leak-test, vacuum and recharge.
Freeze-12 is probably OK, just make sure it does not contain Propane,
Butane, or Methane. Since you did put -134 in the system changing all
the "O" rings is probably a good idea (the origonal Buna "O" rings are
not compatable with -134).
