There is a leak in it and the stuff i got is supposed to fix the leak. It hasnt has Refridgerant it in for some time for what i believe. The air that comes out of the vents is extremely hot. Plz help me im melting in this oven with wheels.

its on the passenger side, look for a black canister with a fitting that has a wire coming out and a screw cap. Just FYI, those stop leak products are junk and you should fix it the right way.
 






well thanks anyway i put it in and its still running hot don't know what to do now i turned on the ac for about 10mins and ran it on max for like 5-7mins with no real noticeable change in the air temp then put on ac and the air became very hot

Do you see the compressor click on and off? It is on the driver side. How long is the cycling period (about). Does the black canister get cold?
You may have a leak
