My favorite brand is EnviroSafe, as they have a product that will seal small leaks in the metal parts of the system. I've charged two leaking sytems with it and have been very satified. Both now cool well and don't leak.
I used RedTek which is R12a similar to EnviroSafe E12a,and a can of Pro-seal supplied by RedTek,
now I got a 5 yr non-functioning A/c working.Total cost:100$.I still have a can to spare for next summer.

Moonlighting MB Mechanic's estimate (not 100% guarantee either=1000-2000 to replace evap etc)but there is no guarantee that the 2000 will solve problem for long,he says.I saw him drove a A/C less MB himself!!!!
