Or , if it is a slow enough leak , you may be able to top it off with some refrigerant . Pay close attention to your pressures . Walmart had cans of R134a , locally for ~ $ 5 a can .
I use a 25 pound jug . I bought when it was about $ 10 for the 12 ounce cans .
And , yes , I have an EPA card for automotive A/C and the 1st level card for smaller A/C systems .
If you do not have a vacuum pump , " borrow " one from your local AutoZone , O'Reilly or Advance Auto Supply .
God bless
