UPDATE:
The Volvo shop used a 'sniffer' to try and locate for leaks. They determined that the new accumulator was faulty at the connections, so they replaced it with a new one. They took the car for a test drive and everything seemed fine. I arrived half an hour later to pick up the car and I immediately tried the A/C and it was blowing 'warm' air! There was an immediate lose of refrigerant and the compressor was cycling again every 2-4 seconds.

They want me to leave the car again tomorrow and they will be checking with the black light. Any ideas?
