Here is the problem. The AC turns on and blows cold but the strength of it blowing is not strong.

What part do you think is failing?

Change your filter.
Then check to see what is stuck in your return duct.
Last you have a damaged squirrel cage.

Filter looks fine. It was all ducts. This is a house we in option period with.

Turned out it was the coil in the inside unit. It has a leak. However, they just replaced it in '03. Do coils fail that fast?

No, most coils outlast condensing units much of the time. sounds like you have just had some bad luck with this.

It does happen sometimes, but most of the leaks that I find are in the connection to the coil and the connection to the condensing unit.

I am assuming that the leak that you speak of is freon, not water from the condensate. If its a leak from the condensate, more than likely, it is from the coil bieng installed out of level. or a clog in the drain.

Nope it was freon. Evidence with oil on the coil? That sound right?

It is a sign of a possible leak. in which a service tech will troubleshoot the coil to see where the leak is. But I would find the leak before replacing the coil.

I hate to bring back an old post but...." Here is the problem. The AC turns on and blows cold but the strength of it blowing is not strong."
Did you ever find out what the problem was? Iread the last post and it was said that freon was the problem but........ How does that affect the blower?

It may have frozen the coil, therefore limiting the air flow across it.
