No Freon is not visible but where ever the freon is leaking out a little bit of oil always comes out with it and that you can see. You can follow all your A/C lines and look where ever two lines join together and look and feel for a small amount of oil on the A/C lines. Because your A/C works great on cooler days that tells me that you still have most of your Freon in your system and your Freon leak is very small and might be hard to find. You are probably only about a pound low on Freon. If you can't find the leak by looking at all your A/C lines I would not be surprised. They make a can of "dye" that you can put in your system the same way you would put freon in your car or truck. After you put the can of dye in you can take a black light and find the leak a lot easier. But honestly all this looking for a leak is NOT WORTH it to me. I would not bother at all because the leak has to be so small. This happened to me on a few past cars and trucks of mine and after adding the small amount of Freon that I needed I got another 3 to 5 years out of it before I needed to add another pound. So, In my opinion I would just add the small amount of Freon you need, not bother looking for the leak at all because it's so small and I would just deal with putting in a pound or two of freon ever 3 to 5 years.
