Silly question, but what product should I use and how do I recharge my AC?

I was told I need a new compressor, but the leak is so slow I don't want to spend the money.

I think it is Interdynamics that produces the refrigerant refills. Check their website for how to videos.

It could be defective o-rings, each connection has an o-ring.

Have you priced getting it topped off?

Thanks for the info. I'll check out their website. Didn't price out getting it topped off. I probably should have.

Well its all about pressures, so they have a nice gauge sets and know the proper psi for a full charge. They can sniff to find the exact leak. Or put a dye in and check it later for the leak.
