a/c went hot

[tsidrift1]

i gharged my air system a few weeks ago. everything was fine and worked great until today. i went to turn it on today and it was hot. Could the system leak because the caps on my service ports were not screwed on? i had them on, but they were just pushed on, i didn't thread them on. i am thinking that because at the top of the cap on the inside there is a little rubber ring that i thought would seal something. if anyone could let me know that would be great.

Cut your costs and pay a shop to sniff-test the system to find out where the leak is.

or buy a can of leak detector with the dye in it.

Just a longshot, but is the compressor turning on or slipping?
