My ac has been hissing constantly like a leak once it's on. What could be wrong with my ac?

What you're probably hearing is the refrigerant passing though the expansion valve. Its located just before the evaporator inside the heater box. The expansion valve creates a restriction in the a/c system so the refrigerant can change from a liquid to a gas.
