My 2012 just started blowing hot air after I regretfully put refrigerant in it and overcharged the system. I had it almost completely rid of refrigerant and started over. It's still not cool, or was, but after a hot day on the highway it got hot again. I'm assuming I have a leak somewhere. I also noticed my engine seems to run hot..not to the point of overheating but just a tad over where it used to be, usually at idle. Is this related to the cooling system issues?
