HOW DO I FIX LOW A/C?

I would do a leak check with my "beeper"(Snapon leak detector). If it couldn't find the leak I will then suggest that we fill the system and add ultra light dye. When the unit gets low again bring it in and hope the dye will show me where the leak is so it can be fixed before adding anymore expensive R12. If your thinking about converting it to R134 thats fine but remember you still have a leak and 134 will find it faster than 12.
