No - frustrating as hell. Pumped it up with some gas (R22, couple lbs) and then dry nitrogen. Borrowed a "sniffer". Could NOT find the leak.

But it is leaking as the pressure is down again.

Perhaps I need to put in a full charge of gas. I did check the snifffer and it shrieked when it was near a small amount of gas.

I feel stupid.
