    a/c leak help - video!

    Hi, your input will be very appreciated.

    I need some help to plug a known hole in the air conditioning system, that apparently just happened.
    The leak is sufficient to drain the whole a/c system in a 5 minutes. The gas is coming out of the condenser, right bottom corner (from the front) lower semi-ring (?) directly from the bottom. You can see the gas spaying directly to the bottom. I hope my video is clear enough...you have to watch it by rotating your head 90 degrees to the right.....

    I plan to clean up this greasy corner with......(tell me what to use)
    And then apply some JB weld around it.

    Will my plan work?

    I really hope to get away with this with less blood and $ as possible.

    UPDATE:

    After several attempts, it looks like the hole has been plugged using JB weld. After 2 dais the pressure seems to be holding up, as per gage readout. It fluctuating from 60-90psi.

    I have question about pressure in the low side.
    When a/c if off, the pressure gage reads about 80psi (outside of green zone), when I press the snowflake button, the pressure drops by half to about 40psi (which is in the green zone).

    Should by pressure be in the green area of the gage with a/c on or with a/c off?
