I have a '66 Corvair with factory R-12 system that has leaked down and I
want to find the leak. A rebuilt compressor with a new seal was installed last
year. The system was recharged then and seemed to hold the charge over the
summer (at least it cooled all summer). Over the winter the freon leaked out.
I pressurized the system with nitrogen to 60 psi. In 24 hours it leaked
down to about 35 psi. I tried to find a leak using soap with no luck, however I
have not pulled the pulley to check the seal.
Does anyone know anything about the flourescent dye that AC shops use with a
black light to find leaks? Does it work good? If so, where can I get it?
Or is there a better method to find the leak? BTW, I have an MVAC license so
I am "legal" to work on the system.
Tx, Wade
