My A/C currently works, but the compressor is leaking purdy green dye, so I think it's time to revamp the system and need some help since I don't know enough about A/C systems.
The compressor has 134 fittings, so I'm guessing the seals have been replaced, but I'm not willing to take that gamble since I can't find any receipts stating such. The current plan is to replace seals through the system, the drier and the compressor with a Four Seasons 68302 compressor. What else should I replace while I'm in there? Expansion valve? The car has 80k miles and I'm pretty sure all A/C parts are original otherwise.
When I get the system evacuated, should I go ahead and flush it before removing/replacing parts and seals to get all of the old oil out? I'm contemplating just flushing, vacuuming and recharging it myself as I'm one of those that uses any excuse to purchase new tools.
Any insight is helpful here...
