It looses about 1 can of freon every two >> to three weeks, and I can't locate the leak. Some mechanics have a special electronic "freon-sniffer" that they use to detect freon leaks. This is much better than the red dye method, because it is very sensitive, and can detect leaks where you can't see (but can put the probe), such as in the evaporator core. It might be cheaper to have a mechanic check out your system than it would be to get enough dye to find it yourself. They can also pull a vacuum on it when you think you've plugged the leak. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Kirby ( ...!ihnp4!akgub!cylixd!dave) (The views expressed herein are the exclusive property of Dave Kirby.
