The schrader valve is where you add r134a to the system, directly behind the right headlight.
IF you use a 3oz can of leak stopper, it will gell when it gets in contact with air. So... if you then decide to evacuate the system, the leak stopper will gel where ever it gets exposed, which is everywhere. Most AC shops refuse to work on a system with leak stopper in it.
If you buy a can of r134a which includes a "leak sealer", that is OK because it is such a small amount and will not have a negative effect on AC equipment. It normally does not stop evaporator leaks.
