a/c leaks freon

[90hurst/oldsguy]

A/C leaks when it is charged but and last for 2 days. I have replace the o rings and still leaks. Is it possible that it can be leaking from somewhere else?

Yes it can leak from just about anywhere. Start by checking your condensor it is mounted in front of the radiator and looks like a radiator only thinner. They often get hit by stones while driving and because they are very thin aluminum it happens. Another option is go to local parts store and by leak test kit, it is freon with red dye in it so it will help you find the leak.

Lots of places for leaks, get the dye kit as mentioned before and make sure to put a vacumme pump on it for a while to see if the system holds before putting any more freon in the system.

If its the stock system, It could be the condenser as mentioned above but my guess is the compressor. I seen many g-bodys where the compressor seals have failed and caused a slow leak. Good luck.
