UV Dye coming from A/C...

Lick it and maybe you'll get superpowers.

My low pressure side leaks at the fitting, so I just left the hose from my manifold set on with the valve closed. It's worked for over a year now, so that may not be a bad temporary solution for you, too. It does look pretty stupid with the hose on there, but I just can't see having my system evacuated, only to have to replace the entire line, since you can't just do the fitting, so I'll probably keep mine that way until the AC dies again.
