do you know if these are sealed units? can you service them as is? any way to tell if there is a leak before putting in the r12?

Unless you are trained & have the right equipment, It's not a do it yourself kind of job,

first you need to see if you have a service valve on the system (low side /larger copper tubing coming out of the cold side / evaporator, next you'll need an R12 service gauge set & appropriate hoses, then you'll need a vacuum pump, replacement gas, (R12, Hotshot,Freeze12, etc.) an electronic type leak detector for small leaks & maybe some liquid bubble type leak detector for larger leaks, a refrigerant scale to measure a replacement charge, & a tank of dry nitrogen & a regulator to pressure test the system, a brazing torch,

see, easy as pie!

About the only think you could do if your system does have a service valve on the low side of the compressor tubing, then you could just run a quick pressure check with teh system running & you should get about 20-30 psi on the low side with R12.

Are you sure the compressor is runng? Try getting a amp meter and clamp it on one of the wires comming out of the compressor. If it's running you will see a amp draw. No amp meter, then put your hand on the compressor and feel for viberation. LOL Cool
