    98Cobra A/C question

    Leaky Freon Freons are colorless and mostly odorless gasses at room temperature. It is more likely that the AC-discharge thermoststat is not working and what you are seeking is frost and water condensation from the vent. If you do suspect a Freon leak ask the service mechanic to put a...
