I searched the evaporators in the rear and front A/C and found no evidence of red dye or oil remnants, I bought a new hose for the compressor to accumulator, the old one had been split and repaired... so I am assuming that the leak must have come from there, but there is no red dye or any oil residue around the split... this leak would take about 3 days for it to effect performance after a full charge. A week later all pressure in the system would be completely lost. Where is this stuff going? I followed all hoses low and high and inspected the accumulator and condensor and compressor and the evaporators, I found nothing no oil residue or red dye... I hope this new hose will solve the problem along with new o rings and a new low pres side hose to the rear A/C... any suggestions on what else I should look for?
