Re: AC compressor leaking after change it

BuyAutoParts.com has sold 86 AC Compressors for the 2012 Chevy Sonic and only 2 returns. That's weird.
How can check if the car has obstruction? I'll change the expansion valve and the AC orifice tube (Filter)

The AC works good, but every time is leaking, and I wil...
