From experience, I can tell you that anywhere an o ring sits in the lines is a logical leak source, with the manifold block that mates the condenser line to the back of the compressor is very logical. When a system sits dry for a period of time, these o rings dry out and flatten out creating a leak when system is recharged. Just pull your o rings and head down to a local auto part store and match them up with replacements. I have done this on a few cars after getting $1000 + estimates to "repair & replace my system. $2.00 beats heck out of their estimates. Good luck.
