You can make up a fitting and fill the system with dry compressed air to around 100 psi. You will probably find the high pressure discharge hose, the one on the left side that runs from the compressor to the condensor coil, to be bad. You will not find the exact spot, it will leak out of the many small holes along the outer covering. It can be replaced without removing the body. Once you know for sure it is bad just call Rob and order one. He will send you all the "O" rings you will need and tell you how it is done. After installing the hose you will need to go to a shop and have the system evacuated, tested, and refilled. They should pull a hard vacuum for at least 1 hour, fill with a sweep charge, test, vacuum again for 1/2 hour, and than fill. If your system has been dead for a long time you should also replace the dryer/accumulater. It is also good practice to replace the cores in the service valves. Try to find a shop that will use R-12.

A few weeks ago I blew an A/C line on my car on my way home from the Spring Social. I can't find the hole or which hose the hole is in. I need to find a competant A/C repair shop in my area. So far, I've had no luck.
