Re: AC Leak

If you have a 5hp or larger compressor, you can get a venturi vacuum pump from harbor Freight for about$15 with a coupon. They also have a gauge set for about $38 with coupon. Nitrogen pressure test is by far best, but if system holds vacuum it may be good...certainly, if it doesn't hold vacuum it has a leak.
Try to use a florescent dye, if it has a leak it will be easier to find.
