Air Conditioning (AC) not working properly / loosing gas

Figured it out, thanks! Tightened shraeder, used leak detector, bought can of 1234yf. Problem solved.

Warmer day in Northern Virginia today, warner in the Grenadier. A/C seems not to be working. Checked the compressor, the clutch on the compressor engages when the A/C is turned on. Any new solutions to this issue than what is already posted? Expect to hear from the dealership tomorrow. Thanks!

Update: Took the Grenadier to the dealership on Monday. Had them look at a few items: 1) A/C is not blowing cold air, 2) heat is inconsistent, uneven heat, and, 3) power steering reservoir seems to have a small leak as the outside of the housing has a small amount to fluid on it (I cleaned it, removed the film and again it appeared).

A/C - RDS performed a vacuum test and pressure test, no leaks. Recharged system. Tested the A/C today as it was warmer today in Northern Virginia, wife complained it was too cold. System is in good operating condition.

Heat - Cooling system bleed performed. RDS tested it and state it is working properly. I will be unable to test it until it gets cold.

Power Steering Reservoir - RDS explained that there is a pin hole in the housing that acts as a pressure vent, hence the reason why there is a small film of fluid on the housing.

From how it was explained to us was that the cap was self-venting (not a pinhole per se), but yes, some film on the outside of the reservoir is pretty normal
