Oil on the condenser and replacement ?

[Wankel7]

I noticed oil accumulation on the bottom of the condenser....driver's side lower left where the AC hose comes in. I pulled off the bumper and noticed oil where the hard pipe goes into the condenser. I am guessing I should replace the condenser, drier, and any o ring I come across? I am going to replace the high and low service ports as mentioned in this thread. https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/a-c-service-port-durability.419889/post-5116082

I found this video on how to get the front of the car into service position to get the condenser out.

Any tips?

Huh, maybe it is an old leak. I tried the AC....honestly didn't think it would work....blows 37f air with 72f outside.

Leave sleeping dogs lay.

I agree on letting sleeping dogs lay. Thanks for the video. I might be replacing my condenser soon.
