how to fix ac leak

Hello, To find and repair an A/C leak, you need a professional certified for A/C repair. Here's why: The equipment used to recover the refrigerant, put a vacuum on the system, and recharge the system is expensive, and people just don't have these unless they are in the business. Aside from that, the purchase and sale of the refrigerant is highly controlled, as this is a hazardous chemical. Now, it may sound funny, but even if the leak has nothing to do with the receiver drier/accumulator, that component will likely be replaced, as well as the orifice tube (if equipped). This is necessary as condensation in the system blocks the orifice tube, and the receiver drier has a desiccant bag that must be replaced when the system has been exposed to open air.
