Okay, two things.
First, we're going to take out the kick panel and visible check for the leaks, degrease the hoses, and then put in some dye and maybe leak stop. Somehow, we're finding that leak.

Second, I'm mixing myself up as to the cycle the freon goes through. Pretty sure it's this:
compressor -(high pressure line)> exp valve -(low pressure)> evaporator ->exp valve ->dryer ->condensor ->compressor

So if I had low freon, the temp at the dryer would be lower and the fan wouldn't kick in.
I sat down with an A/C maintenance book and went through all this a while back, and it all made sense, but what's confuzzling me now is that when you look at the dryer sight glass, it should be clear, implying that the low pressure line is forming liquid because the pressure drops enough. Instead I'm getting a white fog which I assume is gas...
I think I mixed up here somewhere. Probably because it's 10:50 PM and the time zone change from the vacation is throwing my sleep off.
I like sleep, it makes me not feel tired.
