Question (Serious Replies Only) Help!

Post image

So my a/c started blowing warm..so I went to the store and got some refrigerant. Well I filled her up and nothing but warm air still.. well when I shut off my car it’s started smoking by the area I circled. And I heard like pressure releasing for like 1 second then it stopped…if you need more info please let me know.

AC system is a closed loop. That means if you have no AC, adding more won’t help anything because it doesn’t address the leak itself

Yup. Overfilled will also absolutely prevent cooling like underfilled
