Civic vti pros. 02 cooling problem

hey guys..
i m having cooling problem with my car ac..i bought it about two months ago..i just got my radiator and condenser cleaned...and filled up with new gas..but cooling was not up to the mark..in peak hours it hardly cools..the mechanic who filled the gas is saying that the gas is leaking from oil seal(strange, if oil seal is leaked then how come gas is still in there)and he pushed more gas..and after that ac started tripping very quick with no effect in cooling..then i consulted another mechanic he said that the gas is having more quantity of oil so he leaked some gas from nozzle,this fixed the tripping problem but not cooling and then a third mechanic charged some more gas and now better cooling than before but not that much..please help

You need to go to a better AC shop with some local knowledge.

There are two important things to remember: the system must be checked for leaks before any refrigerant is added, and a proper amount of refrigerant with the correct ratio of lubricant oil must be used to refill it.

This requires a workshop with the proper tools: an evac pump, leak tracer dye and UV light, refrigerant machine and a full set of pressure guages for the high and low-pressure sides.

I am sure somebody with local knowledge will help you find a good workshop.
