    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
