I had a slow refrigerant leak on my 2020 MY that was causing dyed oil (yellow) to pool on top of my supermanifold and drip down the side. I scheduled an appointment with Tesla and they replaced it.

If you happen to pop your cowl off for whatever reason, it's easy to see if you are having the same failure.

Tesla didn't replace my compressor; I'm hoping the oil loss didn't cause any damage. It sounded fine and the heat seemed to be functioning well. My energy consumption seemed high the last few weeks, so perhaps a subpar HVAC was the culprit.
