is there dye in the system? if so look for this dye under the car at the evaporator drain along with the condesation runoff. if not use a sniffer run down the middle vents and stuck up the drain tube.
If you don't detect leak with sniffer or with dye as mentioned above you could still have an evaporator leak. I've replaced evaporators on three 124's in the last 2 months and only one had dye come out of the drains. It also lost the gas from that system overnight, i.e., less than one day. On the other two I could not find the leak. On both of those it was obvious the evaporator was leaking once I had the evap out of the case.
