If it is do or die time, NAPA sells a 3 oz can of sealant which just might work. The sealant must be followed immediately with a can of r134a or the valve will get stopped up.
Just remember to put a sticker or something near the valve to let AC service people that the sealer is in the system. If someone uses a machine to purge the system, the sealer will mess up the machine. If the sealer doesn't work, time to sell for parts, because the entire AC system will need to be replaced.

Worth a try?

The cans of r134a with sealer do not work. We have all tried that route to no avail.
