I would be concerned about the whining compressor. My guess is either the system wasn't flushed, there is not enough (or incorrect) oil, or the system is overcharged.
I think the 9000 converts very well to r134a. However, the conversion has to be done right. The system needs a flush. The right oil has to go in...not all ester oils are the same. The receiver/drier and expansion valve need to be replaced. New o-rings (green) for distrubed fittings. Vacuum.
I wouldn't go distrubing fittings just to change the o-rings. More likely causing a problem than fixing one.
Of course, you then have to find the leak that let out the r12.
