Ok. Tech was just up on top.
I am not at the RV (Parker).
He found a tube rupture. I did not see this last night, so I am assuming that after I climbed down and restarted the unit, the leak opened up.
My theory at this time..
I was up there last summer when the leak first showed up. At the time i noticed that that compressor wiggled like hell. I was immediately concerned for the long copper tube comming out of the wiggling compressor.
I think the original leak was in that wiggling tube, maybe right near the compressor. And as the unit put up hours, that section became more and more work hardened and brittle. Finally resulting in rupture.
What do you think?
