Freeze-12 and leaky a/c system?
(First off to all the "Search ****'s" I did search and found nothing on my problem 
)
I really need to refill my a/c system. However I have a small leak. It has been filled up with r12 and that lasted about 4 weeks and it was out. The compressor is new and also it just recently had a new high pressure hose installed.
Is there such thing as a sealer for a/c systems? It has die in with the oil, but I can't find any leak in the engine bay. I guess it's inside the dash where I have no easy access to it. Let alone sticking a black light down there.
Someone told me to put in a bottle of sealant and use Freeze-12.
Would a sealant work with a leak like mine? Does that stuff have a tendency to damage a/c systems or cause problems later down the road?
Also where can I get my hands on this Freeze-12?
TIA

You ought to head over to the 928 board and search. I know, different car and all, but there are a few people there that have some VERY knowledgeable things to say about A/C systems, and especially the options for R12. Read up and enjoy!

I have worked with John (Dozman) on various projects in Detroit, and I must say that he is one of the best I have seen with A/C systems.

I forgot to add that any way you slice it, you have to find the leak. Finding a refrigerant that will recondition seals well enough is a long shot, at best. If the leak is somewhere else, good luck.
Find the leak first, then decide what you want to put in there. I would say fix the system, and save the money for r-12. It can be found, and NOTHING will blow colder, no matter what.
