Default Ac is leaking

Hi!
I have a 2008 crv.
The ac is leaking gass. Goes from full to emty in 30 min.
They cant find the leak by jusing this traising stuff.
They want to remove the dashboard but that will cost me a lot.
Do anyone have any tips to give me?

More AC Die, and don't forget the black light when looking for the leak.
With such a large leak, you should be able to locate it with a bit a patience.

Actually with a leak that size, you probably don't even need patience! Dye will certainly help, but you may be able to locate the issue by just looking for damage. Look through your grill at your condenser and see if you can find any obvious road debris damage. Look for smooshed fins, look for oil running down the fins, look for stones lodged in place. Certainly worth looking over the rest of the system also, but barring a broken accessory belt or other on-board carnage, the condenser is the most susceptible component in your AC.

Leak that large should also be audible. Put fan on low and listen inside.
