Hi Guys,

for the past 2 months I have been having problems with my Boxster's A/C. When filled with refrigerant, after 2-3 weeks, gas leaks and A/C stops cooling. My mechanic filled it with nitrogen, both low and high pressure lines, at 21 bar, and after almost a month, the pressure is still stable at 21 bar. Obviously I can not test the A/C unit as it is filled with nitrogen at a very high pressure - it would be a disaster. Any ideas how the refrigerant is being lost?
