I'm prepping to pull the A/C condenser from my faithful '99 snaggletooth Durango boat hauler. It hasn't held a vacuum pull down or freon for some time. I finally noticed a wet spot center of the condenser. ...lotsa sealant and oil charges oozing.

I'll pull it and do a vacuum pull down test on it, and replace it if it's the problem. My question is if there is enough residual oil in the system, or if I need to add a short can of oil charge when I evacuate and recharge...??

Additional info: 1 3/4 lb charge. I (shotgun) replaced the compressor with a spec oil fill.

Thoughts? Thanks, Dave.
