any way we can get those "in the know" about AC problems

[blizz]

post pics of common places to look for leaks? that would be a tremendous help for those of us trying to fix ac systems.

no pics readily available but the compressor shaft behind the clutch and any service valve or joint where lines or components connect. But barring physical damage the most common or the shaft seal and service valve cores(especially ones with out the installed caps).
