Where are the most common locations for refrigerant leaks in a Prado's air conditioning system?

Refrigerant leaks in a Prado's air conditioning system mostly occur at the two connection points between the outdoor unit and indoor unit pipes. Steps to address automotive air conditioning refrigerant leaks: When there's a refrigerant leak in car air conditioning pipes, the first step is to inject some fluorescent dye into the pipeline to locate the exact leak point. After identifying the leak, welding repair can be performed to fix cracks or pinholes in the air conditioning pipes. For sections that cannot be repaired, replacement with new piping is necessary, followed by recharging with new refrigerant. Common causes of air conditioning refrigerant leaks: Pipeline seal failure, corrosion of the condenser or evaporator unit. Overheating of the compressor may melt the seals at compressor connection points. Improper installation of flare fittings and shut-off valve surfaces. During replacement of refrigeration system components, improper secondary installation may create leak points in the pipeline and refrigeration system.
