ok ya I can get a used compressor from my junkyard for $40. I just went and looked at the whole system again and noticed a faint green on the condenser bottom right corner.

Bottom right ? (pass side?). I think you replaced the o-rings already, so do you think this could be a break/leak in the condenser?

If so, might as well see if you can get one of those as well.

Ya I was looking at the condenser with a black light while running the ac and I could see the uv dye bubbling out of the bottom drivers side of the condenser. I did replace the o-rings, but it is the condenser. My Junk yard does not have a condenser.

I could also see uv dye/refrigerant leak out of the compressor.

It is cool when you can actually see it.

check ebay for reasonable new and used. car-part.com may be able to locate a used unit near your zip code.

good luck
