evaporator

My a/c doesn't blow cold air. The compressor works but when they fill it up, after 2 days it's empty again. They can't seem to find the leak.
I hope this doesn't mean it's the evaporator because I hear it's very expensive to repair. Has anyone had a similar problem or is it something common that it takes a little searching to find the leak. The garage has put in the dye for a second time now and I have to go back next week to have them check it with a light again.

Thank-you

Wait for the results of the leaked dye test. Your car is not an 850 or early 70 series Volvo- those were the ones prone to have evaporator leaks.

Unfortunetly it is my evaporator. My mechanic is a Volvo specialist
and says its the first time he's had to change one on a S40. My crap luck.
Will cost me $1145.00 + tx CDN.
