Bad A/C leak, any advice...

The AC did leak down every three weeks. Now, the AC leaks down overnight. I don't see any sign of leakage under the hood, even with the die. i think it could be the evaporator in the dash.

I can't find a link to show how to take the evap out of the dash. If anybody has instructions, please send them to me.

(The search feature in the forums suxxxx)

I found my evaporator leak with dye, and watching the condesation drain tube. Right after running the AC, the water dripping from the drain tube glowed under black light, a dead giveaway.

I was thinking the same thing. The oil and dye would have to drain out the tube sometime.

If the evap is bad, does the airbags have to be disenaged to pull the dash loose?
