Strike that. Reverse it.
I'd expect so too, but I don't know if this is the case. A crack could be sensitive to temperature, but then again, the evaporator is even colder in the dead of winter when parked.
You could have a leak at the compressor seal or the flexible high-pressure hose. Dye won't help for an evaporator leak, but it will indicate anywhere in the high-pressure side. I'd add some.
