I'm no AC expert, and R134a is known for leaking much more easily than the old R12 ...due to smaller molecules. there are also other juices.. often with propane in them, that are supposed to cool pretty well. 'super-cool' or whatever aftermarket sounding hotshot name I'm trying to remember. Dura-cool, that's one I think. ( environmentally ..........R134a is currently being phased out on very new euro cars I believe. )
