My 2010 Tacoma keeps leaking AC coolant. The system works for about 4-5 days after being recharged. Local dealer says he can't find a leak. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Take it someplace else. Evidently the tech at that dealership does not know how to check for leaks or he/she is just lazy.

A good shop will charge it with a dye that glows when exposed to UV light. Easier to locate leaks.
