Steve, if you are handy you can buy R-134A w/sealant at Walmart and it works pretty well on small leaks. It comes as a kit so that you have the hose and can together. Just be slow with the gas so as to not over fill the system, an easy way is to use a thermometer and keep checking it as you go.

Thanks RobMac, but what is the exact opposite of "handy"?

In general, I'm not allowed around any project that requires "handy"

Maybe I can find a handy person. KevinVolley had a similar suggestion and even contacted me with a name of a product to try.

Thx.
