Air Conditioning, Visual And Physical Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Large and slow leaks will often result in air conditioning (A/C) compressor oil being drawn out with the refrigerant.
A visual inspection can localize the point where the oil gathers and identify the source of the leak.
- Check the system for corrosion which could cause refrigerant to leak
- Check that there are no loose components.
