Testarossa AC

Where is the most likely place for an aircon leak in a '91 Testarossa? The dealer has updated it to the later type of gas, has held a vacuum for 20 minutes and used some type of uv leak detector and can't find a leak - he now wants to replace the compressor.

I think there is a leak - possibly in the pipes which run inside the car from the compressor to the front of the car - is this likely and how would it be detected? The aircon is fine for a day or so after re-charge and then goes away to nothing.

If the leak is that big the UV Dye will almost reach out and slap you!!

I wouldn't let anyone replace any parts until they can prove that's the leak! Proving exactly where the leaks are IS what the Dye IS ALL ABOUT!
