You may want to consider adding a UV reflective dye to find the leak or consult a professional. I replaced my evaporator core (under the dash), as the guidance I had suggested that to be the problem. That still was not it. Final answer was the condenser in front of the radiator (real easy to change too).

Once I had the condenser out, you did not need UV light to figure out the problem..... One corner of it was coated with old, grimy, oil. So when the freon leaked out with the oil, just made a mess of it.
