It will leak on level 1 and 2 but not on 3 or 4.

It will leak when it's cold, not when it's warm.

Sometimes it will raise a level in 15 sec. but other times it takes 55 sec.

Sometimes you will hear the compressor when there's no change in levels. Sometimes you raise from level 1 to level 4 and the compressor never comes on.

Are these the things you refer to?
I think they all occur w/ this car.

If you have a leak than you really do have a leak but it is not always obvious (Level 3&4, warm weather)

Default Explanations..

If it leaks on L1 OR L2 OR L3 but not on another level, you have a hairline abbraision leak. This is at the fold over of the rubber for the given level. WHen you change the level, the tiny leaks..seals itself.

Its still a leak.. GREEN SLIME has been shown to repair these. Do a Search.
