After paying 1300 to have the evaporator or condenser replaced behind the dashboard in my 97 Grand Cherokee the system quit cooling again -- any ideas?

It's probably leaking refrigerant. A small piece of grit or even a scratch or tear in one of the o-rings would cause the refrigerant to leak out. Have someone else find the leak, a friend may have access to some of the refrigerant with the dye in it. After you've found the leak, take it back to the shop that did the original work and let them repair it, pointing out that they didn't assemble it properly and it's leaking at the... On the other hand, if it's leaking at the compressor, that's just normal and those things are unpredictable. BTW, the evaporator is behind the dash, the condenser is in front of the radiator.

How do you fix an oil leak on a gm 3800 that is leaking around the oil filter housing?

My understanding is that it is not the oil filter housing leaking, that can be verified with a $2.00 replacement seal, and replaced by owner with a bit of ability, and tools, but it is more likely the timing chain cover that is leaking, with an estimated cost to repair of around $700, and that is mostly due to the shop labor for just getting to it.

Can you use stop leak to help stop a small leak in a c compressor?

I wouldn't recommend. Pressure on low side is still very high and ac system has a radiator just like a car, it will gum up inside everything and probably not stop leak. You should replace the hose or repair the leaking connection. If its a pinhole in metal or compressor case, maybe can be tig welded or something if it's not a part that can be removed
