Best AC System Leak finding method
I think I have a leak in my AC system ... What is best method to find the leak .... Put the dye in and use a light to detect or use a leak detector?
Leak seems to be pretty bad as I can lose a 1 can in about a week .. I have gauges / vacuum pump so can do the repair just need to find out where the leak is ....

I'm an a/c guy (residential/commercial) and a high quality sniffer is the only way to go, although not all sniffers have the same sensitivities or dependability.
