I thought they fixed that leak.
IDK....Could be there's a new one. I definitely don't want to keep charging it every couple months. That's seems like a rather environmentally unfriendly thing to do.
Anyway, the hot weather appears to be done for now, so that gives me a little time to figure out my next move.
I guess I could charge it myself once, and see what happens. Maybe see if there's some sort of sealant I should run through it first. And check and see if that little gasket/valve thingie the guy showed me is cracked or loose or whatever.
The task itself is usually straightforward, however, there are plenty of useless kits for the task on the market and then there is the hassle of environmental issues.. I would rather pay for it. As far as the leak goes, there are fluorescent dyes you can add that reveal any leaks in the system.
