Over heating -- followup and question

[Mike Hohnstein]

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.

Jerry,

Good info... 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.
