AITAH for insisting on a leak test on a 3 year old mini split instead of settling on a “top up” of refridgerant?

Three year old Mitsubishi mini-split that’s blowing warm air.

Service technician diagnosed low refridgerant and topped it up. I asked that a leak test be performed but he’s telling me they‘ll come back and do it if the unit fails again.

Not willing to accept a bandaid solution and a verbal promise from the tech so I insisted on it in writing before I pay for the service call.

At an impasse so the tech left and told me the office would call me.

Am I in the wrong here? A three year old name brand AC unit should not be leaking, am I right?

The pump seals on my BE pressure washer have failed and I need to service or replace.

If I replace it, what part do I remove and replace? Just B in the photo or A and B? The replacement pumps I see on Amazon don't appear to be in two pieces like the Comet.

This is a parts holder that hangs on a cupboard door. When I made a test print in this orientation, the lip that hangs over the door broke off. Not surprising since the filament ran along the length of the overhang.

If I turn the model 90 degrees in any direction, I get the filament orientation that I need but, the print requires a ton of supports. The supports take 7 hours to print (out of 28 total hours).

Any ideas on how to print so that the overhang is stronger or modify my part to achieve the same?

I'm using PLA and an Anycubic Mega S printer with generic PLA settings.

This BE pressure washer has really been a workhorse for me with some admittedly lax maintenance. I've ordered a new pump.

When the seal fails, oil obviously enters the pump but does water go into the engine?

Is there anything else I should do other than drain and refill the oil?
