God damn this compressor is being extra gay. Anybody got experience with carbon seals?
Replaced the leaking condenser o-ring, then the front carbon seal on the compressor started leaking. Replaced it with a new santech seal specifically for this compressor. Leaking really bad now. I'm wondering if somehow I got it at the wrong depth. There's a spring on it so I'm guessing it has to but up against the inner bearing race to put pressure on the seal, but I dunno. I need to pull it back off and look at the length of both seals.

Do I need to run the compressor to mate the carbon seal to the steel plate?
