Freon Leak - very slow - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Team, took #473 out last night and AC threw a -09 code on the AC...low freon. I thought I found it last year when the discovered the cap on the accumulator didn't have an o-ring. This was allowing the cap to compress the Schrader valve very slightly and the R-12 would gradually leak out. Swapped to a bronze cap to stop this issue. The charge has held for well over a year..

Where are other common leaks points in the system that I can check? Too hot in TX w/o air conditioning for sure! I've got a new R-134 compressor and accumulator. If I have to tear the system down to locate and repair the leak, I'll cross over to the R-134 setup..

Also saw Marc's note about the AC clutch bearing and picked one up today at AutoZone..
