I didn't have to, at first I took it off to take it to the repair man
but after some consideration and thinking these guys are going to
charge me a min of 50$ just to look at it...I though I would look at
it myself.

Update..
I have let the oil set overnight and the same is happening... fan
runs, compressor engages but stops after a few seconds of trying so
the unit is just pushing air, nothing cool.

I suppose it's possible that you hooked a wire up incorrectly.
Sometimes appliances have a wiring diagram inside somewhere.
Sometimes in an envelope glued inside the case.

The compressor has a safety overload switch inside it. It sounds like
that is what is tripping.
