Thought sure I had a bad evaporator. Put florescein dye in the system,
looked at everything under the hood with UV light, and saw nothing leaking.
Later while under the car, noticed that the A/C dryer, that extends through
a hole in the right fender well looked oily. Got out the UV light and the
evaporator glowed green from the leaking dye. Since there is also barely
visible green dye around the rim of the pressure switch on top of the
evaporator, it looks like that might be where its leaking, so I've ordered a
new switch. Has anyone had one of those switches leak?

As deep as you can get under the dash. As in: remove dashboard and
keep on going 'til you liberate something with a lot of fins on it
that ain't full of liquid.
Here's a picture of what's left after you take out everything needed to
get to the evaporator in a 124!! Then it all has to go back together!
