After reading the search results in this excellent forum, I am leaning towards trying an a/c sealant as described in the Cool Profits magazine article that one of the forum members linked us to. However, I would be interested in feedback from shops that actually tried this admittedly band-aid solution. My shop quoted me a down time of 3 to 4 days and a lot of money... The system holds the charge for about 10 days, so I hope that the leak is small enough to be patched up by the sealant.

TIA for your replys!!
