    Not really. There is some stop leak you can try. I would do that first.

    Have you checked the condenser in front of the radiator? It can hide leaks fairly well up in there. Oh, and the expansion valve on the firewall. Although that one is easier. Hope its not the evap core for ya. Just a pain but overall not really that difficult.

    I haven't taken the grill off yet but i waved the light around in front and i can see the alum line in front of the battery and still see nothing, crawled underneath and see nothing. I wonder if there would be harm to add another can of dye and freon. and still see nothing from the drain tube. Could a small amount of water be put through the drain tube like a backwash?

    No water. It forms an acid in there and is not good for the components. Use some more dye and make sure the light is strong enough

    You might want to check the pros and cons of adding stop leak to an a/c system, some professional shops won't work on a system that has had stop leak added to it. I guess it can screw up their equipment. I won't use it either, just a personal thing.
