oreilly auto parts - red angel - leak sealer - in a yellow bottle - $35 - pull a vacumn and put it in the low side before recharge. fixed my W124 evap leak and its been over a year.....getting constant 40 degree vent temps at 100 degree ambient.....

disclaimer...do not let anybody put it in a recycle machine...or recycle your refigerant with it in there.

be sure it is an evaporator leak, should see allot of dye out of the condensate drain and verify with an electronic, sniffer up the drain pipe, remove blower and sniff, sniff in dash vents anywere close to the evap.

it is crazy to spend that much money and time on a 20+ year old car that is not worth much more than $3000, taking all that dash stuff out also...jeez
