Hopefully someone out there knows the answer to this question. On the OE a/c compressor, as it sits mounted to the motor, on the underside at the connections end (not pulley end) there is a brass fitting with a green glass insert, much like a 'sight glass.' What is this? What function does it serve? Is the part available? TIA
