Hi, did the leak lock (small quantity) can damage AC swing compressor?
Someone give leak lock (not too much) into valves in outdoor unit AC.
We have a noise:

In friday we want to open outdoor unit, maybe the compressor.
Anyone from you Guys had problem like that?

It would account for the noise. Had a scroll years ago that pumped a bit of a shraeder depressor that sounded similar, luckily it quietened down after an hour and was ok.

Usually I just use some Nylog on flares, its like a grease so wouldn't do any harm if some got in the pipes etc.
