Dye is all over the engine side, right? comes around to the bottom and crawling up the fender side?
Leak test, likely the two 0-rings are shot, blowing freon and oil out. Naturally, it's almost impossible to reach the engine side to test, and you will have to pull the compressor to replace them, but otherwise this is a very easy job. You won't have to pull the clutch or anything, just the hose maifold (four 6mm allen screws, probably). Get new 0-rings for the hose connection too, just to be safe.

Hi, Peter. It is actually on the fender side. If I shine the blacklight from the top of the engine bay, I would not see anything. If I put the blacklight right in front of the driver side front tire and shine it toward the engine, I will catch the whole side. Nothing from front nor from back seal. With regular light, I could see there are oil where there are UV active.
It seems to started right below those two allen screws whose housing has an S mark. Since I don't think oil will go down rather than up. I will attach a picture tomorrow with daylight. Hopefully it is just the oring.
Thanks.
