Drop some UV dye in it, or an oil recharge with some in it. If it's the evaporator, you'll (eventually) see it around the condensate drains. Regardless, you'll have a good idea of where to look. I wouldn't be surprised to find a leaky service valve, especially the high side one. -j. -- John

I would add that this is a native R-134a system, not a conversion. Also, low side pressures did come up to the 30s when I added refrigerant, but dropped when I closed the service valve to the can. I would assume this is due to the low charge? Dan On Sep 21, 2014, at 9:36 AM, Peter Frederick
