Thanks David. I've had the car for over 4 years and during my years I never added leak stop nor had to add freon but not sure about prior years. The ac ran great up to this point.

Yes I confirmed the clutch. In fact I hooked ithe compressor straight to the power source when I added freon earlier today. And yes, I used a can from autozone with a gauge.

Not sure if this holds any value but I did notice that the aux fan didn't come on when the compressor did. The fan is brand new installed a couple of days ago.
