That means that my compressors not shot right? I want to empty the system and start fresh which im completely able to do. Just want to make its the proper procedures to take. Thanks guys!

If the system is low, there's a leak. Recharging without locating and repairing the leak will result in the new refrigerant leaking out also. The most common place for a leak with systems using the Harrison H6 compressor, is the compressor itself. It's a poor design and eventually, they all leak. Sanden has an improved design compressor, much better option. Before recharging, the system MUST be evacuated, (not just drained) to remove all refrigerant and moisture.

Where did you buy the o-ring? I was trying to google it and not finding just the o-ring.
