The facts about leaks.
If your car’s air conditioning is not blowing cold, then the refrigerant may be low, caused by a leak or a system component that has failed.
Over time leaks can get worse and damage other components, so it is important to have your vehicle serviced as soon as you think there is an issue with your air conditioner.
Refrigerant leaks:
◾Most common sources include worn, inelastic or brittle seals, o-rings, hoses, loose fittings and connections
◾Can compromise more important parts of the system like the compressor and evaporator if not addressed
◾Are not good for the environment and are now government-regulated
R-134a is the current acceptable refrigerant used in most automotive
