What is the best way to find a leak in the AC system.
Had the AC system checked out early last summer and all was good. It held vacuum for over an hour before the shop proceeded to charge the system (still had an R12 machine). Now it’s about 11 month later and the AC still works but does not get quite as cold. Stuck a thermometer in the center vent yesterday and it indicated about 50 deg. F.
I am a little concerned because the leak is so small and it is a 32 year old system. If I would have a shop add dye to the system would that even show up?
