OK guys, the system held vacuum, I recharged it, and it'll freeze ya right outta there........for now! That's what it has been doing, until the 134a leaked out after 3-4 weeks. However-I used the blacklight to check for more dye at the new seal area, where it leaked before, and no dye there, or anywhere else, either. Time will tell.......

Spot on, my friend. An hour or two worth of free labor, and $20 for 2 O-rings, and . The Stealer woulda said "Oh yeah, you need a compressor, condensor, and dryer, and maybe new lines"! Imagine that!!! $$$$$$$
