Hi all
My R12 system was leaking - I put UV dye in it and saw some at the compressor. That lead me to a comprehensive R134 converstion. Replaced compressor, condensor, rec/dryer, exp valve and one of the hoses. Tried to replace more but kept getting set the wrong ones so put it together, vacuumed (held just fine) charged and drove. Cools fine... but leaks. I tried UV and I tried a sniffer and can't locate it. Which is surprising because it leaks out in about a day or two.
Wondering if there are common leak locations that might be good places to focus my efforts.
A leak that big should be detectable just from the oil leaking. Do you have any oily parts? Then how about the evaporator coil?
Check any hoses you did not replace. My system bled through the 2 evaporator hoses above the glove box, one of which is NLA
