Slow leak AC?

j1gilles · 05-08-2014, 09:28 PM

So it finally got warm enough today for me to use the AC in my ride... I turned it on and nice warm air came out. When I got home I checked all the obvious things: fan working, compressor spinning.. I then checked the low side pressure and it was low. I threw in a can of R134 and praise The Lord, cold air! Question though, where are the "common" leaks in these systems? It must be a slow leak because there was some pressure in the system and it only took 1 can to bring it to a good operating temperature.
