Stock systems of old ran about 9 to 10 oz as my finding show. Breaks down to 3-4 oz in the compressor, 3 oz in the condenser , 1-2 oz in the filter dryer and some small amount in the evaporator coil. Of course all this does change as the system runs and more so if a leak is big enough. I just used soap bubbles and have not heard of Big Blue solution. Hoping the leak is not in the evaporation coil but maybe so and it prolly needs cleaning anyway. Prolly a rat nest or something as this ole girl has been an outside work truck all this time. Thanks guys.....
