Default Would a bad Evaporator always leak oil fron the drain tube?

I was told by the AC shop my evaporator is leaking, but have never noticed oil on the ground like everybody else. I can get about 2 months of cold air on a charge, but im not getting cold air again, and am debating wether to charge it again, at $50, or replace to Evaporaor...

Default It's not a lot of oil.

If you stick your hand down there you can usually feel that the drain tube is kinda oily. You probably need an evaporator; most 90's do eventually. Replace the heater core while you're there.
