    The high side fitting on the air conditioning line is leaking where it was brazed to the pipe. I spotted some oil on the liquid line that was saturated with dirt, wiped it off and a few days later I had clear oil there, the refrigeration oil.

    Weird thing is my leak detector is not picking up any traces of refrigerant but it is leaking, where there is oil there is leak, I was gonna braze the fitting myself with aluminum brazing rods, evacuate it and recharge but screw that.

    Talked myself out of it and let the dealer replace the entire line, if they screw up the charge or whatever ill just recover and recharge it myself.

    Oh well atleast it is something simple, for me anyway for the dealer thats another story.

    BTW the A/C is still pumping its freezing but it will run out of oil the way its going and seize the compressor.
