Ok...took the car to my mechanic and did a leak check/test. He found out that the system couldn't hold 13psi. At that point, he saw coolant leaking from the bottom of the car and found coolant coming from a copper tubing near the AC compressor. He also saw white residue. Well, i took it Glendale Infiniti and told them what my mechanic found. They took my car in today and gave me a 2005 G35 Sedan as my loaner.

Will, great to hear it was just a simple leak, and under warranty I presume.

That's the funny thing is, I have just under 52k miles on the car and the warranty expires at 60k. Lucky me!

Sounds like you are finally getting somewhere. Great timing on finding the leak. Good luck.

Well, I got my car back. They stated that the heater hose was loose. They reseated it and pressure test passed. Funny thing is on Tuesday, they called me and said they did a pressure test and found nothing. This is the 3rd service advisor I spoke to at this point. I told him what my mechanic did and they apparently leak tested it again. I got the call on Wednesday and they told me about the heater hose issue. I dont think they did a leak test in the first place. Makes me think their tech's dont know what they are doing there or are just slacking??? I still dont feel comfy about the car so im going to take it back to my mechanic soon since he wants to run more tests.

Thanks for all your input guys!!!
