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.
To find a leak in your home AC system, you can use a leak detection kit that contains dye and a UV light. Inject the dye into the system, run the AC, and then use the UV light to locate the leak where the dye is visible. Alternatively, you can hire a professional HVAC technician to perform a leak detection test using specialized equipment.
With a Halogen electronic leak detector.
the easiest way to find a leak is to put some uv dye in the ac system and run it. then in the dark using a uv light the leak will show up, it will glow green, and you will know where the leak is, after fixing the leak clean around the leak to remove the dye so that the next time a leak happens you will be easily able to spot it.
Go to an AC specialist, the leak is easily found if you use die when recharging.
Ive spent lots of time trying to find the leak using dye through a well known macanic .checked everything over with a find tooth comb but nothing,, still got very slow leak need help or suggestions
To detect an AC leak using AC leak dye, the dye is added to the AC system. The system is then run to circulate the dye. A UV light is used to inspect the system for any leaks, as the dye will glow under the UV light, making it easier to identify the source of the leak.
A leak in the AC system is what causes the refrigerant to leak out. It could literally be in any part of that system - lines, metering device, schrader valves, compressor, condenser, evaporator coil, etc.
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.
Sorry, but nobody can answer that question until you have found the leak and described where it is or maybe posted a pic.
Yes.
