A large part of the diagnostic problem is that it's difficult to get a good look at the evaporator. Mine was leaking from about 90,000 miles onward but the diagnostic fluorescent dye in the evaporator condensate only appeared at 101,000 miles. I had bought a black light to look for myself, and I never saw the dye, so i believe 'em. In between, the cabin temp sensor was replaced twice as was that incredibly expensive AC hose. It's entirely possible for more than one component to be leaking.

"You have to get a car that handles really well. This is extremely important, and there's a lot of debate on this subject about what kind of car handles best. Some say a front- engined car; some say a rear-engined car. I say a rented car. Nothing handles better than a rented car. You can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind. You can also park without looking, and can use the trunk as an ice chest. Another thing about a rented car is that it's an all-terrain vehicle. Mud, snow, water, woods, you can take a rented car anywhere. True, you can't always get it back, but that's not your problem, is it?"-P.J. O'Rourke
