Usually leaks at hose seals or refill valve.You need a "blue light" to find the leak before it can be repaired.Most good ac repair shops will check it for a small charge. any place that there is an O ring will have the possibility of leaking.

Where do you add freon to your 95 Honda Accord air conditioner compressor?

There will be two couplers on the system. The one you add freon to is the larger one on the low pressure line. From your compressor, there are two lines, the low pressure is the larger one. Check it and you will find a coupler between the compressor and the firewall.

Mabe your compressor is not kicking on for some reason. Check to see if the front of your compressor starts spinning when you turn it on. If it don't check to see if there is power to the wires that go to your compressor. If there is power you have a bad compressor. If there is not check the fuses or relays.
