AC compressor discharge line weeping oil?

Has anyone experienced this? I just did a regular underhood inspection and it seems like the refrigerant discharge hose is weeping oil at the compressor end rubber-metal crimp.

The MB part is $53 and would take me less than 1 hour to replace.

What is the going rate for dealer or indy AC system evac and recharge?

Cross posted on all *166 sections until the mods consolidate these nearly identical sections. I used the search feature and it didn't produce a useable result.

Easy thing to do. Buy vacuum pump from Harbor Freight for 89 dollars https://www.harborfreight.com/25-cfm...ump-61245.html. Buy AC gauge from Harbor Freight for 69 dollars. Buy cheapest freon from Walmart. And check YouTube
