Yes, I agree about the leak down test. Don't know if it would shown up at the time....I always seem to get a weird answer like "wasn't there when we filled the system" type thing. I wish I could take it to a good indie that specialized in A/C in So Cal but don't know of any....here in SD county... I will have to investigate.

AC leaks can be very hard to find. Not only are you dealing with varying pressures, you are dealing with varying temperatures, vibration , engine moving around, areas you can't see as well. These changes can allow a leak to open up that isn't there at room temp.
Also, if the system was discharged for a long time and a leak fixed, the next weakest area might start leaking.
If the AC tech told the customer that all the hoses need to be replaced as they might be the source of a leak, the customer would scream rip off.
A 6 week run time tells me that the leak is pretty small ( unless something big recently let go .)
