Well, I opted to go ahead and replace the hose and recharge to get my system up and running for Spring and then monitor the compressor shaft seal for leak severity. Its been roughly three weeks since the recharge with relatively little A/C usage but system is holding a charge nicely. Today was the first real A/C need of the season. 88 sunny degrees on the commute home with vent temps in the high 30's/low 40's at temp setting 5 o'clock at 50% fan speed. On max cold setting I got the vent temps down into the high 20's.
System mods: Griffiths Duel Kuehl fender condensers, evap, next gen front condenser, variable fan speed controller and Hurricane evap fan upgrade, barrier hoses, three fans on rear deck lid condenser, ProCooler and DIY recirc hose from bowtie to evap inlet (all mods posted on various threads)
