They just swell the rubber seals, yes.

"dr bob" over on that other Porsche website that begins with "R" made a post on one of my threads where I asked about a leaking AC system on my work car, a '97 VW Jetta. IT WAS very informative! Basically, the bearing on the AC compressor is very fragile, and if it is scraped or just barely gouged due to lack of lubrication, it looses its seal instantly and now you are forced to replace the compressor.

Search my name "Normy" over there. Hopefully the raving, foaming-at-the-mouth fundamentalist christian John Dunkle won't ban you for doing a search for my lost screen name there. If he doesn't notice, it is only because he is at his boyfriend Don Watson's house.

N!
