easy, leak off rate isnt high enough and the pin hole will be at the top near the outlet after the refrigerant has gone through the liquid speration phase.Quote:

Very often a leak on the top of a receiver does not have traces of oil,no matter what size the leak is.Ditto for liquid line.
A leak of any size on a suction or discharge line will always have traces of oil around it.In fact i have seen many condensers oily but the system showing no sign of refrigerant shortage,as the leak is so small.Same with leaks on a suction line.
Good luck,hope your frustrations are over.:)
Been following this :) Glad to see you have cracked it! Was having a quiet wager in my head that next login would see the axe in the bonnet!! :D

Haha, I had concerns he was going to use the Suicide line on the N2 bottle for it's namesake.Quote:

Diagnose the troubleshooter himself :BigThumb::Rolling::TakeABow:
Quite probably THE most interesting thread I have perused in a long time.
I'm also in the same boat, having just recently lost cooling effectiveness in the system, with bubbles now present in the rec/drier.
When I had the dash out, I cleaned the evap from crud and noticed some older dye stains present on and between the fins, which are starting to slowly whiten and corrode.
I'm of a similar opinion that there exists an opportunity to 'replace' portions of the system while an opportunity exists, but I also have on the other hand, a desire to change the system out 'wholesale' with an electronically controlled unit from Vintage air.
well, maybe not completely, but the cabin side would be nice.
I'll leave this for when I have the whole dash removed though. Future project. In the meantime, I'll do the orings and vac it down, replace the drier and regas. Knowing my luck the damn thing will work fine after that.
