If it's a scroll compressor, they will pump some liquid refrigerant. If it
isn't, then you might have done damage to the compressor. A dirty air filter
can do a lot of damage. If your filter was that dirty, chances are that a
lot of dirt was bypassing it. Call someone to check and clean the unit. Be
sure to tell them about the dirty filter.
