2000 Echo A/C issues

[drshawn]

I have been having AC issues for the last 2 years. I live in Texas so it doesn't bother me in nonwarm months, only when it gets hot. It seems my coolant is leaking out. I have had freon added the last 2 summers to get me though most of the hot months. 1 fill up will last me about 1 month. Then i had to reload. I have taken to the shop and have had them look at it. Both years they come back and tell me that there are no leaks. After filling up for, i get cool air for about 1 month. What could be a possible problem?

You have a leak. If the same shop has told you two years in a row that there is no leak, go to another shop! If you are leaking it that fast, look around the refrigerant lines / components for signs of oil. You most likely will not see the refrigerant leaking out, but the oil will leave signs.
