Question

A car makes a hissing noise each time the A/C system and engine are turned off. Technician A says that the noise is caused by a refrigerant leak. Technician B says that the noise is caused by equalization of system pressures. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

It's equalization of the system

Explanation: If there was a leak it would likely leak all the time even if the car was turned off. Plus, a system leak bad enough to hear would drain the system of refrigerant very quickly and would no longer cool.
