This evening after work I stopped by my mechanics to shoot the bull, he asked if i had fixed the ac yet on my supra, since I had not we pulled it in , pulled the valve cores at the compressor and put in dye, pulled vacuum, and charged it with "12 freeze(r12 replacement). After running for 15 minutes we used the uv light to find the leak(o-rings on top of the compressor) pulled the freon out, fixed o-rings, and repulled vacuum and then recharged. My only complaint about the whole deal is he won't take payment, just wants a 30 pack of Bud.
I had been dreading the ordeal, figured more problems and a retrofit to R-134, but I think I got lucky this time. Plus I have dye in the system so future leaks will be easier to spot.
