A leaking air conditioning system can take a morning commute and make it feel like a nightmare. With no cool air, your daily drive can be a sweaty one. If you’re worried you’ve got a leaking A/C unit, check out the symptoms here.

Can I Fix a Leaking Vehicle Air Conditioner?

There are two main components that can cause an air conditioner to leak, and they are age and moisture. As simple as that sounds, the rubber seals and hoses inside the A/C system are affected by both of these things and over time will break down. Moisture is a real troublemaker when it comes to your A/C as it mixes with the refrigerant and creates a corrosive liquid that is sure to kill your air conditioning system.

A failed hose, seal or component can result in leaking refrigerant and thus a much less effective air conditioning system. A lot of times this will become apparent when your A/C unit starts to blow air that isn’t as cool as it once was. Other issues that can cause this lack of cool air are:

A clogged expansion tube or refrigerant charging hose
Failed compressor or compressor clutch
Failed blower motor or blower motor resistor
Damaged or failed condenser or evaporator
Vacuum leaks
Failed switch, fuse, relay, control module
