Look at this video... I added just a little freon+uv dye. It's literally just spitting out from the compressor.....

No one? Florida with no AC is not an option. December or not.

Judging by the video it's leaking take it back to the place that serviced it, or find a new place. Obvious its leaking freon from the fittings to the compressor lines, or near that area.

Thanks that's what I was thinking it was to.

The place that did the install cant see me until after christmas so I am going to take it to Lexus tomorrow. If it is the fittings to the compressor lines is that normally an expensive fix?

Depends on what they find on the diagnosis. Need I say it will be at a Lexus dealership. If you can pay for the diagnosis then. Then search for a reputable indy shop to do the repairs. Most likely it will be less than what the dealership will want.

Good luck.

Just got my car back from the dealership. The compressor the original shop installed had pretty much blown up lol. They also broke my headlights so they wouldnt auto level when I turned the car on and the daytime running lights also didnt work. They also broke my steering column when putting the car back together. The original shop had to pay for everything. As they should have. I paid 2k to them for them to give me a cheap *** probably used aftermarket compressor and they tore my car up and broke ****.

Best part is they emailed me and asked if I could change or remove my review on Google since they covered my expenses. Lmao...
