Another A/C question...

I was at a shop and the tech tells me reason why my A/C is not holding a charge is because I have a leak in the hose (pipe) on the low side going into the radiator does that make any sense to anyone> if so what the fix to this?
by the way I had R12 system but just tried to convert to the R134A stuff/

Well, I am told that I am warp Ed in my texts. Rightly so...

Do as Danny says, find that piece of piping and replace it. Then go smplace to have AC fillup.

I had my AC done a week ago. No, you should replace the condensor to be safe. When you do, also replace the receiver/drier (aka Water Tank Assembly) purchased from Nissan, and you should be fine. Oh, you also need 4 o-rings, 2 small ones and 2 bigger ones - again, buy from Nissan. If you do this at an independant mechanic shop, expect to pay around $600 total for parts, labour and evac+recharge.
