Subject:Air-conditioning Seals
From:Andrew Dunn

Well, I know its the winter, but its time for me to replace the seals I
believe.
Previous owner just charged the AC. every year, not too eco-friendly.  Anyway
I want to get this leak licked.  I was wondering if anyone had experience
replacing the seals, and where exactly they are.  The compressor is new,
about a year old, but there hasn't been freon in the system for at least a
year.  I've heard that the all that rubber begins to dry out without freon
lubrication.   I also wonder if , the lack of freon in the system has caused
any damage to the compressor.  If anyone has any knowledge of this, it would
be helpful.

Thanks
