Ac leaks are hard to find. there is a chemical that can be added to the Freon. Under a special light it will show up. If it is a small leak it may not show up, especially if its on the compressor behind the clutch.


Can AC freon leak at front of the clucth on ac compressor on a 1995 GMC safari?

yes there is a seal on the front of compressor that can go bad and leak freon.


Why your ac not working on your 1996 Mazda 626?

First check your fuse for your AC in your fuse box, make sure it is good. Make sure your cooling fan is turning on when you turn on your AC, if not it could be your fan relay. If the AC compressor fan clutch is kicking on and off then it just needs freon. If the AC compressor fan clutch is not turning then it could be completely out of freon due to a leak, or you need a new AC compressor.

It can, in some cases.

How do you know if you need freon in your car?

First, you need to understand that you will never need to add Freon to your AC system if there are no leaks or a leak anywhere in the AC system. The only time you run low or lose all the Freon is if there's a leak like I just said. Secondly, when your AC system stops blowing cool air, several things could be bad. (1) Freon leaked out because of a small opening or loose connection somewhere. (2) Compressor clutch is warned out. (3) The compressor itself is broken. Issue (1) Fix; the leak must be fixed before you recharge the system with Freon. Again, you will never run out of Freon unless there's a leak in the system. If you don't fix the leak, they'll escape again after the recharge and you'll continue to recharge the system indefinitely or at least until the leak is fixed. Issue (2) Fix; replace the clutch as they wear out just like the clutch on a manual transmission. Issue (3) Fix; repair or replace the compressor. Hope this helps!

How does an AC unit run low on freon?

Freon can leak. Since it will do so in the form of an invisible, odorless gas, it is very difficult to observe such a leak.
