Hey guys, my A/C stopped working recently. I checked underhood and I can see that my compressor is not spooling up when the A/C button is pushed. I understand this can mean one of two things: either the compressor clutch is broken and I need a new compressor, or there is a leak in the system and I have no refrigerant.

I'd like to hear your A/C horror stories. What's the more common cause? And if you had a leak in the refrigerant plumbing...where was it? And the all important question...how much $ did you spend to fix the damn thing.
