the fan is controlled by pressure.
if there isn't enough freon pressure, then lord knows what will happen. If you want my opinion, find a good AC shop, let them purge it, vacuum it out, and refill with one of the modern coolants. They are not as good as R12, but it sounds to me like you have issues there and short of driving it to Mexico, you don't have many options... |

I by no means claim to be an a/c expert, my neighbor helped me with mine. But when we filled it, the pressure was too low to cycle the system and we had to jumper the pressure switch with a piece of wire to get it balance the pressure to/from the high/low side. Sounds like yours may be a similar issue. Also sounds like you have a leak somewhere you need to track down.

Pappy, with a leak that small, the only way you are going to find it is to have a professional shop inject an ultraviolet dye in the system, run it, and check the whole system with an ultraviolet light. The leaking area will glow under the light.
