Somewhere around here in one of the garages, I have a small can of dye/refrigerant solution.

Probably have had it for 10 or 15 years, don't recall which auto parts store I bought it from. If you can still find those, they make it easy to add dye without a lot of fuss.

Found it, it's this stuff: https://www.rechargeac.com/products/...-sealers/UVD-1
I looked at that and according to the reviews the bottle and/or connection seems to break upon installation. This is the reason I was looking at the one I posted as it's in a metal can...like the refrigerant cans...that can be added to the system via a set of manifold gauges.

Based on the amount he said he's had to add (couple cans, every couple months) he's probably down to just a few PSI anyway.
When I have to add it gets down to 20 psi +- on the low side of course...
