[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1586788, member: 7539"] If you just want to add some refrigerant to test if it holds or even use some with a leak stopper additive, it's easy. Go to WM or the auto store and pay about $20-$25 for the can with the low side attachment already on it. It will have a small gauge built in and you just literally screw it onto the low side (it will be obvious) and let enough go in while it's running to bring the pressure up to where it says on the gauge. If it works and holds, then no problem. If it works for a while and then gets uncool again, you have a bigger leak that will need to be fixed. If it's a hose or something, not a big deal. If it's the compressor, plan to pay in the high hundreds. Hope that helps. If it's something else, I don't have enough experience with it to offer any troubleshooting. [/QUOTE]
