Yup

Thanks for the reply. We know those things and run the oil level as low as possible to reduce the amount available to vent, but this doesn't seem like it is making any kind of difference. Adding oil as req'd is a no brainer but I am trying to figure out a way to stop the constant venting. Operating in the colder temps of N Canada makes for one very ugly a/c but in reality, there is no logical reason for the design to be just pulling oil out of the reservoir. I am hoping to find someone who has adjusted the vent pipe or changed the rigging on the line or something to significantly reduce the 1L/20 hrs of oil getting blown out the back end.
