Default AC Leak

Whats the best AC Leak sealer out there? Got a leak in my AC system but got no Idea where...

Another thing is, when I check the AC with a gauge it says it's full but No cold AC comes out so do I have a leak or what?

The Compressor works fine since I made a switch to turn it on...

You should put your year/model/transmission in your signature, so we don't have to look at your previous posts to figure out what accord you own.

What kind of a/c gauge are you using to read the pressure?

Oh man sorry, Accord 1996 LX 2.2

Was using the one that comes with the r134 cans.
The AC was working fine for a while but the seemed to just stop working even with the Compressor on.

Should I just take it somewhere so they can check the high pressure one to? Really don't know much about the AC system...

Also when I try and release some freon from the low side only gas comes out but no freon, and before freon used to come out...

Freon can be a gas or a liquid depending on the pressure.

To get an accurate idea of what is going on the a/c system, you need to put a manifold that will read the high and low side pressures.

I bought one for ~75 at one of the parts stores. I think it was made by interdynamics. FYI, some come with the hoses, some don't. You also want a R134a set, if you decide to go this route.

I am not a fan of bypassing anything on a car. Is the clutch plate engaged with the compressor pulley and spinning with it?
