So I know this is the SC site but I have a Ford A/C related question. My 2008 Escape has a leak whereby the refrigerant in the AC system will leak out completely in about 3 days. I've used a manifold set to draw major vacuum on the system and it holds for several days when its empty and under vacuum. My question is this - the A/C compressor has a bolt/fitting on it that was about a half turn loose. What is this bolt/fitting for and could it be part of my leak?
