1) AC compressor just spit out grease through the pulley/clutch and temp is not getting as cold anymore. Some noise from the compressor clutch. Are we losing refrigerant from the clutch bearing? Time for a new compressor/clutch? This compressor was noisy since we first bought it but we always got cold air. I am not going to say where we bought it from because they have been very good and we didn't really pursue anything when we were supposed to. 2) Also, I had converted to R-134 a few years ago and used a regular 709 compressor. We were told it would be fine. Should we try a different compressor, probably more compatible with R-134?
