Sages,

I know its not the time of year for this type of question, but you do the projects you have in line when time permits.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my front suspension and am taking the opportunity to pull out the entire a/c system so that I can repair and prepare to change it over to R134a.

So my question(s) are these:

1. Where do the compressors leak when they do leak and are they repairable?
2. Is the compressor rebuild-able such that it does not leak any longer?
3. Is it possible to test a compressor out of the car, and if so, how?
4. What kind of noise might a bad/failing compressor make so that you might have an idea to pitch, rebuild, or replace.

I may have more questions, but this is a start and I have nothing but time to figure out how to make all of this work.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
