The air conditioner compressor has started to weep when in use. The sight glass is now showing continuous bubbles but the system still cools well. That to me suggests that the compressor is mechanically ok, except for the seal. The local ref mech reckons the pump is shot and needs replacing.
My question is this: Once I get the ref mech to test all of the system for leaks other than the seal and it proves sound, is it viable to get him to degas the system so I can remove the pump and fit a new seal seat, shaft seal and O ring, or is it a specialist job?
