Take it back to your garage friend and ask him to check for more leaks.

Another or the same leak. That leak has put the the equivalent of another 786kg of co2 in the atmosphere since last week. Poor polar bears and dolphins. 🤣🤣🤣

You gotta wonder, what seal'? There are multiple ones in a A/C system. If your friend knows about A/C he should fill it with a dye so that when it leaks out you can visually see where it leaks.

Well, if there are definitely no leaks, and it's still full of gas, and it was working for a day, beats me...

Condenser will probably have a small hole in it. Not the easiest to see even with dye.

If it's been leaking for a while, there should be a tale tell brownish stain on it where the leak is...

Now, if that's what you have hooked up to your A/C, you have a serious issue 🤣
