A/C Leak

[mjwaterma]

Hey guys, I have a leak in the A/C and I was wondering where the most common places for a leak to develop are. Its a 02 if that matters at all. The A/C hasn't worked since I bought the car in August of 08. Yes, I know its a while. I refilled the system last summer, but that only lasted a few weeks before the system pressure was back down to zero. The compressor works and kicks on when the system is turned on (and there is R134a in the system) and all the fan speeds work as well. I'm going to get some of the UV dye to find the leak, and it will make it easier on me if I know the most common leak spots.

Compressor front seal, evaporator core (inside dash), rubber hoses and connections (o-rings). Other than that the condenser in front of the radiator.

Mine is leaking too, remove the glove box. Behind there is where mine is leaking. Check it out maybe its the same place. I haven't gotten around to pulling everything apart yet to check it out further.

Mine's leaking too

I bought this sealant+dye can at Advance Auto a couple weeks ago and still have to use it (waiting for a hot day). Do you need anything besides a purple LED to see the dye?
