I've got a 2018 1.4 FR with an air con gas leak. The garage filled it up and put a dye in it and it's leaking where the top air con pipe connects to the front of the condenser. There is like a welded on block which the pipe attaches to with what looks like a torx bolt.
Is this likely to be just the o-ring inside ?

Hopefully a fairly easy fix

Anyone had the same problem?

Many thanks
 
There are O-rings associated with every connection on these systems.

I'm surprised that one is leaking at this age - unless someone has replaced the condenser already and not replaced any O-rings that have been disturbed.
 
The condenser appears to be the original one I would guess because it looks a bit battered to have been replaced but I might be wrong :unsure:
 
this is not the greatest picture but it shows the green dye on the top connection
