1) Depends directly with ambiant temprature.
2) Yes stop leak works for small leaks. If you have a large hole in your system, fix the problem first, replace the dryer, vacuum the system and then add in the stop leak/freon.
3)You always fill the low pressure port.

Okay, I have a question about A/C. I'm a newb to recharging and dealing the the A/C componnents so here goes:

I recharged my AC and all is well cold air works now yay, BUT... something I saw after driving today kinda freaked me out, but maybe I'm just getting worried for no reason.

You know where the heater control valve hoses and the A/C hose/fitting plug into the firewall and into your heating/cooling unit inside the dash? Well, on my truck anyway, there is another thing next to that cluser of tubes and hoses, it is just a 90 degree rubber looking elbo that point down, maybe 2 - 3 square inches in size. After using my AC, I got home today and looked under my hoot and say that there was fluid dripping out of this elbow... I didn't dare to touch it or anything in case it was something like refrigerant. Is this just water, like some kind of condensation drainage, or does it sound like something isn't right? I'll draw a mockup of it on paint in case anyone is unsure of what I'm explaining:

You are 100% correct.
