Defrost works without AC, it just isn't as good. That's not really a clear indication of AC function. The AC should run all the time on defrost, it removes the moisture from the air.
When you recover an AC system the freon goes in to a tank. It mixes with everyone else's used freon, as well as whatever new stuff is in there. When you charge the system it pulls from the same tank. Remove 1.5lb to take the engine out, put 1.5lb back in when you're done. Remove 0.5lb, put back in 1.5lb someone is paying for that 1.0lb. It can't really be regulated, so the shop is most likely just eating it. But where did that 1.0lb go? I've never seen a hole in the condenser create a small leak. Rock to the core = 0.0lb recovered and a green stain on your pant leg while you look under hood for that hissing noise. |

They just told me, when they were charging it, they "discovered" a leak and its not holding freon. |

You can actually replace it by removing the plastic covers that connect to the front bumper cover on the bottom and bolting/unbolting it from down there. Pretty easy, no need to remove radiator and/or front bumper cover.
