Is there a common location that i should check for a freon leak? Its a pretty good leak apparently requiring me to add freon regularly. I would love to fix the leak. I know that I can take it to a professional but maybe you gn guru's have tips for me. Thank you in advance.
 
The system has oil in it so look at the lines and condensor for a wet oily spot first. If you add some dye to it you can use a black light to help find it as well.:)
 
Man, i think that i just got very lucky. I started looking at everything like charlie suggested and i shut all noises around me off just to see if i heard anything. Well, i heard a small leak coming from the drier can. I then observed oil leaking from the large screw on the right side of the drier. I hope that was the cause of the leak although, i had not noticed any oil in that area before. I tightened it a bit and the leak/noise stopped. I will keep an eye on it and see if i am missing some in the future but i really hope that was it! Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
