Check the hose crimp connections near the compressor, where the hose goes
to metal.  When I put in my new engine, I heard a freon leak when I wired
the compressor up out of the way.  Yes, I could actually hear it leaking.
Do to the engine movement, this would be a logical weak point.  Now I know
why my compressor is shot--the '85s don't have a lo pressure switch. PO
said, "It works.  It's probably just low on freon."

Does any one have enough experience tracking down Vanagon AC leaks to
lend some info on the more common places for these to occur. I need to
track mine down. Vacuum test showed slow leak.

Thanks,
Lee
