The most common leak in GM vehicles is the AC compressor (look for dye), however it could be leaking from any component in the system, DenLorsTools.com has a good Tech Article that gives good information on how to tackle this problem, see the link in the left column or go to DenLors site and check out the Tech Article section.
Yes. Or leak check with nitrogen.
The 1998 Chevy did not come with Freon (R12) installed. Freon was banned beginning in 1996. It contains R-134. You have a leak that needs repairing before adding more refrigerant. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak. Seek out professional help to repair the leak.The 1998 Chevy did not come with Freon (R12) installed. Freon was banned beginning in 1996.

The easiest way is to add freon and an oil with a dye additive and use a florescent light and yellow goggles to pinpoint the leak/leaks........
First, your 1998 Mercury contains no Freon which is R12. It contains R-134 refrigerant. You add R134 at the low pressure port. But the fact that you need to add R134 indicates you have a leak. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak without first repairing the leak. Seek professional help and have the leak repaired.
First check to make sure that the system has freon, if not then you will have a leak then check the electrical system................
remove freon,pressure up system with dry nitrogen to 250psi & go over it all with soap & water .
You have to have a freon leak detector. Are you can put freon dye in the system and find a leak that way.
The dye was put in the system to tell where the leak is located. Return to the repair shop and let the check it out.
Check for a vacuum leak either under the hood or under the dash Check the operation of the vacuum actuated motors under the dash Check the operation of the selector switch
the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck....
First off, it does not contain Freon. Freon is R12 and your Hummer contains R134a which is not Freon. This is not a DIY job. If it is low of refrigerant then it has a leak, and it is illegal to add refrigerant without repairing the leak. I suggest you take the vehicle to a professional that has the expertise and special tools to accomplish this repair.
You can find a Freon leak in a home Ac unit by using a leak detector. These instruments are capable of detecting trace amounts of Freon and pinpoint leaks.
