Not true, Depends on what state its In I can poor a Glass of r-22 and it will look like water. Cold water. Also if they pulled a vacumn on it and let it sit for 5 mins they would know if they had a Leak, Micron gauges Dont Lie. Remember if U all have any Problems with your A/C (home) Give me a PM, Ill hook you up!

that, and almost any good A/C technician has a halogen leak detector.....will detect a leak down to 2oz/year(mine does) with the size leak you have, it is easily visible, using a soapy solution on lines/fittings/etc. a leak will have traces of oil around it, most of the time, and that is due to the refrigerent carrying the PAG oil out of the system. Dye is carried in the oil, unless you get the new dye-impregnated R134a, and if the leak doesnt bring oil out with it....then you don't have dye to show where it is.

with a leak as large as you described..i would look at either a line witha large crack, or the more likely posibility...a scraeder valve leaking. just some suggestions....

Well I found out where the leak is and I hopefully fixed it. I also charged it up with freon and it blows really cold air now. I just hope it doesnt leak out again. We will see. Next time I am going to do it myself. It was so easy.
