First you need a "sniffer" then check every component and connection.

Made in China parts is the true answer.

Look for oil stains around the bottom of the compressor and condensor, more than likely if they are not leaking then the evaporator is the leak

you can also put dye in it and use a uv light and glasses to find it.

Yup. Never have I seen so much rubbish in all my life...and it just keeps coming. Nothing they make is trustworthy. I wonder how that feels...to know that everything you make is untrustworthy. I could not stand it.

Inject dye into the system, then run a UV light source over everywhere to find the leak.
