Last year, I installed a new condenser, new accumulator, new variable orifice valve, and all new o-rings.
I removed all lines and flushed them thoroughly; I flushed the evaporator.
I pulled a vacuum overnight and added new oil and R134a, which the system had been converted to several years ago.
Just a week ago, it was producing 36* dash temps and heavily frosting the line between the compressor and evaporator; also heavily frosting the drier.
Now, for the last few days, when I first turn on the A/C, a large volume of refrigerant spews out of an orifice located on top of the compressor, enough that it drips off the hood.
It will spew for a few seconds and then stop.
Dash temps struggle to get below 50*
What is going on and how do I fix ?
Thanks for reading.
