Been trying to troubleshoot an AC issue for a few years now. I replaced a leaking high-pressure line (OEM) back in Sept. 2020 and about 10 months later it was so low on refrigerant that the compressor wouldn't kick on. Had it vacuum tested and recharged and it worked for about 10 months again. Couldn't find any leaks anywhere using the DYE they put in the system, although I didn't pull out the rear evaporator? Evac and recharge again and this time it lasted a few weeks. Went poking around and I think it might be the condenser? How common is this? Does this look like a bad leak? I can't really just wipe it off and see if it comes back because it doesn't have enough refrigerant to run the compressor. I lubed the O-rings (actually they came pre-lubed, but I added a little more to be safe) but the leak doesn't seem to be coming from the seal between the hardline and condenser, but rather the condenser itself?
