Well the shop told me my condenser was leaking. They wanted $600 to fix it, another shop wants $400 and the part itself is only $180. Now I'm not sure what kind of labor they are charging me but the condenser doesn't take 3-4 hours to replace -_-.
Now I looked at the condenser right after filling and a few hours after filling the system and I don't see or feel any leaks at all. The only area leaking anything after the refill is a hose under the low pressure core:


The liquid doesn't have an odor and could possibly just be condensation. I will check it in a bit to see if its still leaking. If it is, it definitely wont just be condensation.
Anyway, I guess my question is, is this leak normal? Did my shop just tell me its the condenser to try and get some money out of me?
