AC PROBLEM "PLEASE HELP" My problem is that when I put in my TSP cam in I had to take off the two AC lines on the passenger side of the motor. Some of the green fluid came out when I did this. Now when I went to get the system recharged they said the green fluid was not freon but oil for the compressor. They did not put any more oil in because they didn't know how much was lost. My question is how will the AC system be affected by the loss of some of this green oil. AC blows cold and doesn't make any noises but I am still not sure if I could hurt the compressor or something else.
Any help would be appreciated, I am totally lost.

i wouldnt worry bout it to much what you lose threw the lines isnt much and you definetly dont want to much. although the reason its green is the fact that there is dye in there so under a blacklight you will see any leaks easily

When we evacuate a system at work it usually pulls out 2oz. of oil. The proper fix would be to evacuate and add 2oz. oil. If you don't want to suck it back down I would use a dye injector and add at least 1oz. of oil.
