Doubt it was freon, was R-134a, I assume.

Most recommend staying away from the stop leak and oil stuff.

Did you have it vacuumed down after you put this stuff in?

Did you vacuum it yourself? Most 'home' pumps can't pull enough vacuum to be effective. You may still have air and moisture in there.

Expansion valve would also be suspect.

BTW, the compressor/system on my 91 SPG was trouble-free for over 100k miles, needed a couple belts, though.
