I have a serious leak in my AC system - I fill it and it works fine for a day or two and then stops cooling. Put some dye in it and I believe I followed the whole system under the hood at least, only see some dye on the side of the compressor. Not very much, though. Tried to take a picture, wasn't easy - can see it along the band, and the round thing behind it. Does this seem like the cause of a major leak? I think I got more dye near the low pressure fitting taking it off then I see on the compressor. I see kits on eBay for about $150 for a new compressor, accumulator, and orifice tube. Cheap r134a vacuum pump from harbor freight. This what I'm probably looking at -any kind of leak requires changing everything?
