help with ac leaking cant figure out where

[ChampionPanda]

ok so I bought one of those recharge kits with the retrofit adapter. I pumped a little bit into the system to see if there were any leaks i did hear one coming from the bottom right side so i swapped out the O rings on the 2 pipes in front on the right hand side the one on the bottom and the one on the top. It is still leaking and im at a loss of what to try next. Anyone think the condensor itself could be the problem? If anyone has experience with ac work ide appreciate the help. Thanks

Did you check the schrader valves? My high side is leaking. Luckily it waited until the winter to crap out so I could find out one hot day that my AC was nonfunctional.

leak could be anywhere. I know where mine is...condensor...but that's what happens when a dog tries to bite your bumper at 55mph

Could be leaking in the evaporator (in car) too. You could go around and spary brake cleaner and then dry each connection...recharge and see what is moist a/c pinhole leaks are a PITA.

I used one of those sniffers before...still was a PITA as there are several things that can make it alarm without being an actual leak.

If you have a sniffer though, good way to check the evaporator without getting in there is to put it by your vents, turn on the a/c...with a/c on and vents blowing the leaking particles will come out of the vents. Otherwise you'll have to get in there and look with eyes.

Don't forget your lines...as they age they can leak...especially if the rubber lines get oil on them.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

Ive changed my compressor the 2 o rings in the front near the radio and everything.

My sound comes from the same spot bro, It's a hiss sound in the front right. That's why I thought it was compressor. Let me know if you figure this out im sick of buying freon to try and find the leak. And oh yeah you wont see it with dye ive put 2 whole cans through and nothing.
