Put in a small can of UV dye and get a UV light and the yellow glasses,
and see if you can see any apparent leaks around all the fittings and
stuff that is visible.

Larry,
The W140 chassis cars were also plagued with the dreaded evaporator leaks as
well.
I believe that Tarek, the former owner of my S500, had leak sealer used by his
mechanic to seal up the system on the S500. I know Tarek is around but not sure
if he can shed any light on this.
Suffice to say it can be done as long as the leak isn't substantial. I know
people have posted things n the list in the past on various methods and
products - you might want to search the archives.

Thanks to all for answers to my windshield condensation question.
_______________________________________________________________________
Now for another, more serious situation - the A/C in my '91 300D is not
holding a charge very long. I had it filled last year and it lasted all season
but this year it needed another refill but it failed to last more than a month
or so - it's still cool but not cold.
As I understand it, the W124 has a history of leaking in the condenser (if that's
what's under the dash) ;-) so it sounds like the dash must come out. I could do the
dash R&R but the condenser R&R would probably be beyond my ability. It looks
like there are lotsof things that can leak behind the dash - the evaporatoror the Heat
Exchanger and their related tubing for instance. Looks like the whole dash might need
to come out....
At least my windshield condensation problem will be solved! ;-)
Has anyone tried the *Stop Leak* in a can? Was it successful?
Has anyone had a shop do this work? Any idea what the cost was? I'm in the
greater Richmond Va area and labor prices are not too bad so far. I'll call my
favorite shop Monday and see what they estimate the cost will be...
Thanks -
