Right problem is slight leak on a friends focus 1.6 zetec, theres air con dye dripping not fast - say every 2-3 days leaves little patch on driveway size of a 50 pence coin....

The air con works 100% ice cold.....

Someone suggested to her the air con pump is knackered (dodgy garage) if it was pump leaking wouldnt it affect performance....?

Also ive heard of a stop leak like the radweld anyone used this before....?

Any suggestions on where i should be looking will be most appreciated ;)

    with the dye in the system you should be able to pinpoint exactly where the leak is coming from, i have seen the stop leak products but have heard a lot of bad reports on there performance in the end its your choice if you try one, halfords and many other companies sell them.
