Hi guys, the gas in my air con system leaked out over the last week. So I thought before I go taking to the workshop and handing them hundreds.. I'd ask if there were a common place for it to leak.
Any knowledge is appreciated
Cheers

Mobile AirCon guys are generally good and cheap. It pays them to be in and out ASAP

I don't think there's a common place as such apart from any connector as they have seals in.
Best to have it checked for leaks (they tend to put UV dye in anyway now I think)

Condensers fail in the centre, where the fan shot blat it with grit. Otherwise they are pretty reliable

Took it in, they had a pretty good idea that it leaked from the compressor. they went ahead and replaced the hose o rings and changed the filter...this was full of gunk.. and they put dye in the system. all for $500 seems to have fixed it but time will tell!
Cheers guys
