Current situation (87 GN, 46K miles):
AC blows hot air at all settings.
Thick and thin AC lines under hood are hot to touch when AC is turned on
I most likely have a leak as the AC has not been used for several years and the last time I used the AC several years ago the air was not very cold.
I want to convert to R134A. I need to find the leak and repair it.
Do I find the leak witih R134A first prior to opening the system and replacing the accumulator and orifice tube? Use dye or a sniffer?
What are the signs of a leaking compressor if that is in fact the source of the leak?
What are my next steps? Advice is appreciated as I will do the work and a novice.
