Takes less than a half hour. The test is cheap and easy. That should come first. If there are leaks, replace every single o-ring in the system. Why? Because the compressor has not exploded already and doesn't seem to show signs of exploding. Everything needs to hold a vacuum as step one. I'm betting it won't. But do the vac test, find the leak, replace every o-ring, reseal it all up, do another vac test to make sure... then charge the system and do it at a real shop with the UV dye in it. Then they can spot a leak if it crops up again.Make sure that the o-rings are the legit green ones meant for A/C. Lube them up generously before you spring-lock them back together. You can do this portion of the work yourself as it'll be a bit time consuming to crack open the spring locks and replace all these o-rings.Just my advice, it's not gospel.</blockquote>
