Car Auto A/C air conditioning leak testing

Here I use air from compressor to fill the system to 80psi i then spray washing up liquid and water mix over all the a/c system any leaks will show up as bubbles , on this Honda civic its the condenser that is leaking.

You should really use oxygen free nitrogen so it does not contaminate the system but I do not have this set up as of yet.

Firstly I charge system to 80 psi in fact i  only charged to 20 psi but it still worked fine.

Then just go around a spray your 50/50 fairy liquid water mix, spray all A/C system components, pipework and connections.

On this system the leak was coming from the condenser, but unfortunately the compressor was faulty as well.
