I found out about a bad expansion tank when my AC did not come on. The diaphragm leaked which led to a pin hole leak on the top of the tank. It sprayed water on may AC control board that rendered it inoperable.

If you DIY, you will need to buy a few parts since they are installed with PVC. A pressure gage will be necessary too. My tank was only 6 years old when this happened.
