AC leak.

Post by Emigrant » Sun Oct 07, 2018 2:56 pm

Had my AC charged and after a week it was back to warm air  >:( was freezing when it was done lol so does work.

Is there common place to leak? I've not looked properly yet. quick inspection didn't see any signs of leakage either, presuming they all use a dye.

You will need a dye to track it down.

Lack of use can damage compressors as they need the lubricant to keep the seals good.  Current gases are not as good as the nasties we have decades ago.
