AC leak i cant find

[TonyD]

in last few months my AC has been blowing warm. I refilled it and it lasted a week or so. Then I added stop leak and it lasted a couple day. Then we added stop leak with dye but with the light and glasses we couldn't see anything, there was a little around the port but think that's just from when we added it. I removed the radiator cover and didn't see anything.....none around the compressor .......where else can it be escaping?

only other thing I notice but not sure if its normal. when I turn off the car I get this wheezing sound from dash and more often then not I find my vents closed even though I didn't close them.....is that the o rings failing in controller

Can't speak to the AC leak, but the wheezing sound from your description sounds like blend door actuator opening and closing the door. On some cars I know it is standard that when shut off they close, can't remember if that is the case on the marauder.

did you check the bottom of the filter dryer?

Sorry ahead of time if this isnt useful ; the AC system will blow warm air if AC clutch plate doesnt engage. To confirm, open hood and have someone turn on the AC. Be looking at the clutch plate as AC is turned on. Plate should begin turning at full speed, and engine RPM drop just a bit.

thanks everyone. yes the clutch is engaging thats how i started to know something was wrong. i was hearing ac kicking on and off repeatedly. my buddy is an AC guy so he helped me replace the in valve and we recharged it and it blew cold for about a week. then it started kicking on and off as I was driving and it went warm again. then we put the stop leak and put the glasses on and had a couple lights and lifted it up on the lift so we could see different angles. that's why we are stumped. sorry about my typing and caps I'm recovering from spinal surgery and am typing with one finger.

The accumulators on these cars are made of steel, and they are known to rot inside the plastic housing, I would start with replacing it.

Yes just feel around the bottom.

Have you had the compressor shaft seal checked?
