A leaky mass airflow sensor or it can be a leak in the air intake hose.
It breaks.
If you are talking about A/C refrigerant / Freon leak, Then the intake has NOTHING to do with the A/C / Air conditioning system.Now if you are leaking antifreeze/ engine coolant and YOU KNOW it is leaking from the corners of the intake, Then YES you MUST replace the intake gaskets.Now you didn't say what you were working on. But if it is a V-6 or V-8 VORTEC engine then it is a VERY COMMON Problem on those engines for the intake to leak antifreeze.
There is an air leak in the intake system that is allowing air to bypass the throttle body.
This is often the result , in fuel injected cars, when there is an intake manifold vacuum leak ( i.e. loose or disconnected vacuum line, intake gasket leak , injector seal leak or many other possible leaks in the air intake system ). It is also a symptom of a faulty or maladjusted throttle position sensor.
