Took a close look at the AC condenser and there is a circle of oil on both side. Which means that oil in the AC system got out and that means the it lost some charge too. So I may have to remove the AC :(

When I put the driveshaft up the rear bracket was off by like a 1/2". Dont know why because the bracket could only be welded in one place. Anyways I fab'd up some brackets to make it work.

the oil spot in your condenser means all of your charge was lost as soon as the hole happened. Refrigerant is much less dense than oil, and if the oil came through, that means the refrigerant was carrying the oil as it exited the hole.

The system still had a charge on in it. Im assuming the hole was tiny and when the high side pressure went up it let it leak past.

Hmm. did you ever recharge it? Usually with an oil spot that big, it has either been leaking for a long time with frequent recharges, or is a leak that let everything go at once.
