HD6 Belly leaker - How much more oil

scoob8000 on Fri May 14, 2010 5:09 PM User is offlineView users profile

Year: 1995
Make: Buck
Model: Roadmaster
Engine Size: 5.7
Refrigerant Type: 134a
Ambient Temp: 80
Pressure Low: 21
Pressure High: na
Country of Origin: United States

I just flushed and recharged this system last year, then the car sat in the garage all winter.

Apperently I have another HD6 belly leaker.. Over the few months, a decent puddle of oil collected under the compressor.

It's a little low on 134a (21psi 80 degrees, 50% humidity). (I'm waiting on a new high side coupler, so no readings for now)

To get by the next few months, I'll just top the charge back off. Should I add a little more oil, if so how much would you guess to add? (I'm thinking an oz or so?)

I would not add more than an ounce if it just a normal belly leaker.

So maybe not even worth worrying about the oil?

Could too much oil hurt anything, or just hinder cooling performance?
