    Seals definitely will ALL need to be replaced.
    I just had my AC serviced last month because compressor locked up. With it locked up mine had material floating in the system.
    So they had to replace the condenser, compressor, dryer and said most the seals were leaking. This is the 2nd compressor I’ve replaced in 700,000 miles.

    Also, a 1996 Taco isn't OBD2?

    Really? Maybe that was a Euro/Japanese thing? The big difference between a lot of American vehicles from 1995 to
    1996 is that 1995s were OBDI and 1996s were OBDII; My dad had a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder before we traded it for my Tacoma in 2009, but I don't remember if it was OBDII...
