U.S.A Drives: 1998 V70 GLT Volvlo Station Wagon	Hi, Anybody have any suggestion for my v70 wagon? Recently i have notice that my a/c is not cold anymore so i decided to take it down to my local mechanic to charge the freon. After one month my a/c is not cold anymore, i take it back to my mechanic and he told that i have a leak. So i leave my car over night for him to look over. One day came and go he told me that he can not find any leak. I'm stuck....help...anybody have any similar problem. Thanks..

Yes they did put dye in the systsem and it came out nothing. And he assuming it was leaking from the o-ring or the a/c switch itself. Maybe I'll look into the evaporator see if it's come from there. Thanks again..
