Try to use a florescent dye, if it has a leak it will be easier to find.
I can hear the leak...I mean easier than that to find?
I don't wanna pay for all of those, i mean i'm in SF, and AC is required for a month or so...so small leak would be fine since i can recharge it next year, and fix it when rob a bank!!!
