Can not find A/C Leak 986

[jfredj]

I have a late '98 Boxster 2.5, 77K mi. with a slow leak in freon. Takes about one weak to quit cooling. I have added dye detector 134a, removed much of lower pans, front wheel splash panels and looked with U/V light and found no indication at pipes, condensers, and compressor seal and lines. Is there a common area to look for leaks? Can a shop detector find a leak this slow?

Any decent A/C specialist, worthy of the name, must be considered capable to find leaks how small they may be.

Thanks. I have not checked the evaporator. Just wanted to find common areas of leaks. Will go for the sniffer pro.
