Yes, I did put in 2 cans and then added about good part of a third can.
So that amounts to nearly 30 ounces. I did not hear any obvious leaks.
But I did hear momentary hissing from the low-side valve while I was
charging. It was such a short duration I doubt it could have leaked 1
lb of freon. I checked all the connections, and I don't see any sign of
oil seepage. One possibility is that a leak could be inside the
evaporator. But the system held a 30" vacuum for nearly 6 hours with no
drop at all. I would be surprised if there is a leak.

Unfortunately the compressor does not have warranty. It only had a
90-day warranty, and I kept it for almost a year before installing it.
If I can't fix the compressor myself, I will have to trash it and buy
another one. Is there a way to check the compressor operation without
charging with freon?
