    '98 Volvo 610 Cummins M11- If the system is vacuumed down and charged, it only has cold air for 2 weeks, maybe 18 days at best.
    Where are the most likely places for it to be leaking? Doing a little research shows that the rear AC lines fail, is that the most common issue?
    What else do I need to look for? And are the coolant lines available in the aftermarket, or is it a Volvo dealer item?
    Thanks

    '98?

    Condenser is one but I would consider changing out the hoses just in case.

    sometimes a leak will be at the compressor seal, hard to find, and will sometimes pull vacuum and leak when being used.

    Install some UV dye, then after running, check with a black light...
