halacha - Rabbi "shopping"


Is there any explicit halachah against going to different rabbanim to find the most lenient one for a specific shaylah?


I know it says in pirkei avos "asei l'cho rav", but what if you don't have a personal Rov? Or if you do have a rov, is it prohibited to go find a more lenient p'sak or just not recommended? And is there a difference for a shas had'chak?


Edit: Furthermore, if you did find a more lenient p'sak than the p'sak of your Rabbi/the first Rabbi you asked, would you be permitted to go according to it? And if the second Rabbi was even stricter than the first, can you go like the first (assuming neither of them are your personal Rabbi).
