My A/C won't blow cold air. I checked the low pressure side was near zero so I recharged it to about 30. The next day it was back at zero so it seems I have leak but how do I find it? What are the most likely source of leak?

best way ive found to find them by eye is to look over all the lines and where they connect to each other. being it leaked out over night there will be a greasy/oily mess at the leak point.
if you have extra r- what every. clean the pipe off good should you find a messy area, then re fill and see if its dirty the next day.
the compressor can also leak so look at that close too.
they do sell a dye kit for the a/c it will leave a red stain from the leak area. its a recharge kit with leak detector in it already.

the usual source for an a/c leak is the compressor shaft seal, it's right behind the pulley.

Check both the schrader valves for leaks. Remove the plastic caps and see if one of them leaks. I just replaced the high side schrader on my 00 GT today and held 30 Hg just fine after that. Now it's nice and cold after the recharge.
