When you say to fill until the low side is 30psi with the compressor running, is this at idle or at 2000rpm? Also, what should the outside temperature be?

Either I have a leak or there is a boat load of freon in there. I suspect the fitting for the orifice valve because there is a wet-looking grime on the connection. There should be leak detector dye in the system. I think that it is activted by UV light? I actually have a hand-held UV light at work that I could borrow. Perphaps I could try it.

When I fill the low side, some yellow-green foam comes out when I disconnect the fitting. The foam then mostly goes away, but not completely. Is this the freon or oil and is it normal?

Thank you!
Steve
