Nobody pulls the dash to check for a leak . We just use a borescope up the weeper hole and look for dye or oil

Mick Henson :
Why not just use dye and a borescope and not pull the dash?

oneeyetheparts_guy :
how do you put it in water to see if it's bubbling, if you don't pull the dash to remove it?

$600 for the tool, $35 for the evaporator.

My opinion, leak test is a joke. You pull 30 inch of vacuum...test passes....but static pressure in most systems are 90+ psi.....just add dye !

Genesis has an SST for this and it works amazingly

Apple User785387 :
Just to close that chapter that it was leaking. But replace it anyway and might as well do the actuators too while everything is out. Oh, and might as well rebuild the 68RFE too. At least, that’s how these things tend to go

I add dye and check the evap water drain for dye.

Coolest grandpa :
Adding dye to the system and looking for dye dripping out of the a/c drain tube can solve that guessing game

Method Mechanic :
you could use a refrigerant sniffer and put it on the drain tube

I use soapy water and blow compressed air into it does the exact same thing without me having to buy a new state of the art tool I don’t need

user5145019534377 :
That’s great. Back in the 1980s an electronic tester for R12 directed the leak to the evaporator. 82 Toyota Supra didn’t require dash removal. Inside th evaporator box oil charge residue was clearly evident. So was the dye injected into the system with Black light.

its amazing how they make tools for testing this without having to spend 8 hours ripping the evaporator out....

Sniffers work great for evaporators

Just replace it. I have never seen a evaporator that’s was so expensive it was worth all this gamble

It has an ac drain for a reason brother diag the mf before you take it apart

Tundraman20 :
or you can put dye in the system and find the leak without doing any of that

Hobo No Go :
That's what the dye is for.... you recharge the system put dye in it send the customer home they come back when it stops working and then you inspect the condensation drain if it glows it's bad if it doesn't the leak is somewhere else but now that the system has leaked the dye you can find it (sometimes depending on the size of the leak you can find it day of but most of the time my experience the leak is pretty slow)

Double D :
Add dye to the refrigerant. It's very evident where the leak is. If you don't see the dye where the condensate water comes out, a small hole can be put in the AC box & look with a bore scope. Dye has become the best way to find leaks.
