First, I know its still winter, but I'm bored... My A/C system sprong a leak last summer. Hoses look pretty good for a 15 year old car, they were probably replaced sometime before I got the car. I am thinking there is a leak in one of the many o-rings. System held charge for about 3 hours before compressor disengaged, so I am pretty sure it is a small leak. Anyways, any one know if A/C leak sealers work and hold for long?

If it quit after 3 hours, this is not a small leak and this stuff won't do a thing for you. I know of three guys who all had slower leaks from what you describe and all wasted their time and money with these products since everything leaked out anyways. There is no magic in a bottle unfortunately, get a proper diagnostic and price to fix system if you really want your A/C working, but be prepared it's never a cheap repair.

I NEVER use this type of an product. It will give you grief later on. You need to pull a vacuum on your system and use a sniffer to find the leak. Visually you probably won't find it. Also you haven't addressed the compressor oil that has probably leaked out also.
