A/c leaking at high end valve

[DROFYM]

Hello everyone, Ive been looking around and cant find much on hi end valve problems. I seem to have a leak at the hi end valve on my A/c. My compressor stopped working a few months ago and im researching this to get the A/c working right again. Can someone tell me what I can do to fix the leak. It looks like liquid bubbles coming out of the seal in the middle of the valve. Can I change the valve myself or does a shop have to this? Thanks for the help. :exporange

Nope.

may just need a replacement of the valve inside then. You will need to recover the system to do that unless you have access to something that willl allow that with a charged system.... I assume they exist for 134 sittings as well. I have them for r_12 systems
