Most likely it has failed at the evap coil. *The bad news is that new

I think you may be confused. In most places it is illegal for a scrap
dealer to buy a used evaporator coil - because the thieves have been
chopping them loose to sell for scrap - but a homeowner can still buy a
new one.

Man, at least this one, *should always have one cup of coffee before posting

You can still buy replacement *evap coils. *It is the condenser units you

Sounds like the OP won the lottery if that is the only leak in the system..
I have experienced to evap coil failures on two 1995 systems about 2 years
apart.

Also replaced the evap coil in my 1996 Nissan twice now. *I am of the
