As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

(CAN) LEAKAGE OF AIR-CONDITIONING REFRIGERANT TO THE ATMOSPHERE, THROUGH THE POTTED TERMINALS OF THE HIGH/LOW PRESSURE SWITCH P/N 2130S4 ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF DRYER BOTTLE P/N ES43050-2 . REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE DRYER BOTTLE P/N ES43050-2. PROBABLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT REALLY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
