Typically an A/C leak will be a florescent green because the oil is dyed to make leaks easier to detect. It is also easily washed away with water and a system that has been empty for some time can make a leak very difficult to see. The best way to find a leak is filling the system. I would suggest bringing it back to where the repair was done and have them refill the system and see if a leak is present from something related to what they replaced or something they missed.
AC leak
So, back in December I hit a cone going about 80 on the freeway. Caused about $4500 in damages.
One of the items that was replaced was the AC condenser.
Anyway, when I picked up the car after the repairs I noticed the AC took a little time to get cooler than it did before. I didn’t really think too much about it and being it’s winter time I haven’t used it since. Well, yesterday I turn it on and get nothing but hot air.
Now , I look at the condenser and see a dirty area at one of the connections as shown in the attached picture.
Sure looks like the leak to me, do you agree?
