I believe that is the pressure relief valve. It shouldn't be spewing out the compressor oil.

The relief valve is replaceable, the o-ring should be replaced too (applying a thin coat of refrigerant oil before replacement.)

Do you think its more likely that the valves fucked up or that its overcharged? because itl run for a few min before it starts spewing....
