about 95% of the time the leak is at the crimp on the hoses going to or from the compressor. the tell tale sign is the metal hose at the crimp is dirty, more so at the junction than several inches down the metal hose. this is because as the go juice escapes it deposits oil which will attract dirt and it get dirty... if it looks like this grasp the rubber hose and see if you can turn it (like you were screwing a garden hose together). If so this is your leak. eEuroparts sells the complete units. you can also take them to places like hose pros and get them rebuilt. start with the hoses, then get someone with a set of gauges to pull a vacuum on the system and see if it will hold for an hour or more.
