TX76513, Yes, I did put UV die in with 2 cans refrigerant. The condensation drains were dripping pretty good, and I was unable to find any trace of the UV. I'm stumped on this one. If this leak was in the evaporator, would the sniffer pick up some in the AC vents? I didn't get any trace there. The biggest hit I got was near the clutch of the compressor, but it wasn't much. It did get more noticeable when the evaporator core froze over.
Well its a good thing that the evaporator appears to be OK.(that is a horrible job in your vehicle to replace) The seals on the compressor shaft do wear, the oil is supposed to keep things lubricated but no use or long set up can make that seal dry out.
