the low side will be the line running into the compressor and will be cooler then the side out. it should also have a blue twist on cap over the coupler. please put the cap back on as you can leak 1 lbs/gallon per year.. cant remember exactly. and its not "great" on the attmosphere

The low side is back by the fire wall. The high side is under the air box.

JHMO, Take it to a shop and get it looked at, you are low on freon and that is caused by a leak, the contaniers that have sealant in them are just a band-aid and will just contaminate your system.

I would never use the freon with the sealers in them. They will eventually end up ruining your system and then it will cost big bucks to get it fixed. That sealer goes everywhere, just not where a leak is. It doesn't take much to clog up an evaporater or condenser or even the orifice tube.
