Default 2000 a/c

I have a 2000 neon se and the A/C will work for about 2 weeks so I figure it is a leak somewhere. I was wondering if there happens to be a common place they may leak at so I at least got a starting point to find it. Any help or Ideas appreciated. When it is charged it works great.
Thanks

I have a 2000 and for the most part my a/c works pretty good. You can put A134 with a color or black light dye to find the leak. Just hope that there is no leak in the evaporator under your dash.

a good spot to check is that flexible line right at the dryer behind passenger headlight, sometimes the belt can rub that one.

its a waste of time to ask where it is a common place just get a can of 134a with leak detector and you will find out real soon. First off does your compressor turn on?

I just hoped there may be a commen problem. WHen I put 134 in it works perfectly for about a week then no more cold air. Everything works great except for when it leaks out. Thank you

The condenser and evaporator are the two hardest places to find leaks when using dyes. I wonder if this would be an option for you?

Thank you for the good idea I have a buddy who may have one I can use.
