Default AC Issues

My Air Conditioner is acting up. I have the single control system and not the dual passenger driver side setup. It blows icy cold air on passenger side but luke warm air on driver side. Here's what I've done to diagnose the problem

1 Service gauges show high side and low side are good.
2 Performed a leak check using UV die and cannot find any leaks in the system.
3 Topped off the AC with refrigerant. It get's icy cold when I do this but a few days later is luke warm again on the driver side.

It seems and feels like a leak but why is the passenger side is still cold and the UV dye is not showing up anywhere to indicate a leak. Does anybody else have any ideas?

Thanks!

Sounds like a driver's side blend door problem. Do you have a FSM?
