Try this:

Don't expect it to hold up to hard everyday use, and parts and
repair can be iffy, but for light use their stuff is okay.

And they will stand behind it and give you another one if it doesn't
work - at least the first time you use it. After that...

Shop around, you might be able to find better deals.

One-time use, go get a professional. Might be rentable from a local
outfit, too. Otherwise, the price on these units has gone down
dramatically over the last couple of years and the sensitivity has
gone way up. Last one I bought has a 2' flexible snoot and detects
down to .015 oz per year leakage. Was less than $80, IIRC. Check out
the various auto A/C parts joints online, Tool Warehouse might be
another source. The price of the portable units is all over the map,
spending more does not necessarily get you a more sensitive unit.
Probably mine is obsolete now.
