I'm not sure how to get at that oil. I don't think that more than a couple of tea spoons was lost.
The oil that found out in the open last week, seemed like brand new oil..

I have not checked the motor windings, since the motor was still running,
when I found the system had very low pressure and took it out of service.

I'm not too worried that it won't crank over.. Maybe tomorrow,
I'll get some time to hook up the test gear and see if it can do some heat pumping.

It would be great if it works. Like finding $1,700 in the garage.. Got my toes crossed.
Otherwise, it's going to turn into a parts mine for the other unit..
(They have the same built date and lot number)..
