Ive seen it be anything from schrader valves on the ports to o-rings on the expansion valve. The quote will depend entirely on whats leaking. If the evaporator has to come out.. it will be expensive. If its just an o-ring leaking on a line it may only be a few hundred bucks.

I do TONS of a/c work at a dealership. This is how I handle every a/c leak that comes in. To properly do a/c repair, you need a lot of specialty equipment.. aka not a home repair.
somebody who understands. u just dont know how many a/c repairs i see at the beginning of summer from people who want to charge there system. they get the autozone charge kit and just pump away. then over fill big time break something. then bitch at me thinking im ripping them off because they have to buy a new this or that.
