Re: [mk2] a/c questions

[Mark Mages <wasserbox@yahoo.com>]

The shop you get it charged at (if it is even remotely
good) should have a freon sniffer.  They can put some
in your system, then use the sniffer to track down the
leaks.  

In my limited experience with bad AC systems it is
usually a bad gasket where the hoses connect, the
drier, or the compressor, but not the hoses
themselves.

With the price of freon way up this would be better to
have a shop at least find the problems in MHO.  Unless
of course you have access to some grey market Mexican
freon.
