Over heating -- followup and question
The dye is green, and I believe it will glow with black light. It's easy to
spot and will show a leak easily. It's normal to add freon bi-annually.

I'm not aware exactly what the shop did to test the system... he stated that he did not find any leaks -- and said something about 'dye' in the system. I can get the gauges, etc. and will learn how to keep the system charged up. As you say, small leaks aren't uncommon. Pete Masterson aeonix1@...
