Two-owner 2004 LC w/170k not running as cold as family liked for second summer in a row, took for a recharge to my local tech which he did, and said “you have a leak somewhere” but wasn’t inclined to chase it down due to substantial rust underneath vehicle. Another shop on the island wanted to throw an entirely new system on it for $2k plus plus including taking dash apart to get at evaporator on passenger side. Worked fine last season after recharge and works now but feels like its not as cool as it should be. Using my trusty UV flashlight, I examined the system from front to back, including area of line behind front passenger footwell and found no leaks EXCEPT at junction of line with rear evaporator. Here’s my question:
1. What else should I be replacing/servicing when I evacuate the system to get at this one O ring? Pics below:
