Thanks for the suggestions. I absolutely think that it is the condenser that is leaking. See the attached image, that is exactly how the leak looks on my condenser, it sits right in front of the radiator (it looks like a smaller radiator actually, first time I knew that).
Like the picture, most of the face of it is dry but the small lower passenger-side area is wet and there is a slightly moist spot on the plastic car body right under the leaking spot. I went out just now and there was no hissing, I guess it takes it hours for pressure to subside? Then I test drove it around the block (without turning the AC on), came home and heard it slightly hissing again.
I guess it is going keep leaking until it takes all of my AC coolant away. I am guessing either a rock hit it (it is a small, close to the ground car) or the condenser failed due to all of the traffic and hours of driving I had to do on Friday. So, I am going to take it in for the dealer to examine next week, and have it fixed sometime, dealer or otherwise, in November. I do not specifically see the AC covered in my ten year warranty, I have had this almost three years. Maybe it is under the five year portion of my warranty? I will find out next week though.
Thanks. If there are any important updates I will write here.
