my ac isn't working, could it be the condenser?

Asked by JSFargo Jun 18, 2021 at 02:00 PM about the 2008 Nissan Rogue SL AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My dad filled the freon and when I first start the car it blows cold and when
I'm going slow, under 30, it also blows cold. As I speed up, it gets warmer
and if it's warm from sitting in the sun when I turn on the AC, it also blows
warm. The compressor does run and the clutch kicks in, but he wasn't sure
how much oil is in it. Under the hood, in the front and on the driver's side,
there's an oily substance that's blown up onto the underside of the hood and
it also looks like it's down along the condenser, could a bad condenser be
the problem?

One of the tell tale signs of a freon leak is oil leaking from the refrigeration system. Unfortunately this is best left to a pro who can put a tracer dye in the system to find and repair the leak. Hope that helps! Jim
