How to Repair Automotive A/C

Step 6Leak checking

Leak checking
Leak checking can be done with a leak checking device. You will need to hold the device up to any connection, compressor, condenser and the drier.
Anywhere there is oil visible on the A/C line could be a leak. When checking the condenser, take your time and check all the rock chips. When checking the service valves do not push the sniffer directly down wards because it can push the valve down and give you a false reading.
If you cannot find a leak you can always turn up the sensitivity on the leak detector.
Unfortunatly there is no way to check the evaporator for leaks.
