    the only time you would see oil residue is refilling or it is leaking. if it is leaking it would of leak out or slowly bubble.

    Hmmmm wondering if that's why my ac lost its charge in about a month, yet held vacuum for over a hour. I tried to do the bubble test but I think it was already empty when I tested it.its a very slight oil residue but i can def see it on both caps

    could be that the seals on the Schrader valve are bad. I'd run a dye test just to make sure.

    Inject with Uv dye and then use a black light and glasses to see where it leaks


    Gotta be a pretty small leak since it lasted over a month

    Cheap spacers and blocks, 33's, poor man upgrades.
    today transferred my plates from AZ to TX, sad taking that old beat up AZ plate off. Nothing against TX but I miss my home states ease of registration, and the damn price!!! Do I have to change my TW name now that I'm in TX?

    So what's the deal on OME 880 springs? I feel like I almost never hear about anybody running them despite seeing people talking about putting 881 or 882 coils on their stock front end trucks. Are they too soft?
