    one way

    If you have a digital analyzer do a test on the system for co. I have a feeling by the sound's of it that system would be running really poor. If he see's co he may change his story. As to the oil line, bring in a piece and show him the flow rate then kink it and show him again. Some people need to see the evidence...just some thought's..:)

    oil line kink

    Get your self an oil watcher vacuum gage then you can see the air in the line and the vacuum might very well be excessive also.
