Using a stop leak product in a compressor can provide a temporary fix for minor leaks, particularly in the refrigerant lines or seals. However, it is not a permanent solution and may not work for all types of leaks. For a long-lasting repair, it's best to identify and properly fix the underlying issue, as relying solely on stop leak can lead to further damage or system failure. Always consult a professional technician for a thorough assessment.

Why 1999 Lincoln Town Car air suspension compressor keeps running?

Likely your system has a leak and the compressor can't keep up with the volume of the leak. <><><> Agree. The air bags in the suspension of ours had developed small holes, and the compressor could not keep up. Get that fixed before the compressor burns out.


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

Why you need to add refrigerant oil to the compressor?

The oil is there for one purpose ,thats to lubricate the compressor ,but it also traveles with the refrigerant through the system and when you have a leak it will be forced out the place where you have the leak ,thus after awhile you will lose some oil ,generaly the leak will be around the seal in the compressor.
