I forgot to mention that with the existing UV dye in the system, you should be able to see the leak when the HIGH pressure refrigerant pushes remaining oil out. Yes you could use your UV light now.

Again, the liquid R134a quickly evaporated to gas pressure would be around 100PSI. Its well within the AC system's tolerance. Further more this method will wash out the remaining oil. Later you could safely refill the system with the intended amount of oil.

Regards,
Amarin.
