Is there a preventative measure that can be taken? Some kind of sealant that could be added to the outside of that connection?

This what I have, use it most of the time to find scorpions at night, but it's good to find different minerals/rocks too if you travel.

Probably not, Toyota OEM hose was made in Mexico, if I known that I would have just bought one from AutoZone/O'Reilly for $45 cheaper.

You should take that UV light to hotel rooms as well.

thanks, ordered it this morning. Hopefully my leak is something simple like the hose or an o-ring and not have to replace the condenser or evaporator.

Hmm.. that UV flashlight you ordered says it can be used for "body art"... I can see that!

I guess I can try and nut out a funny shape on some chicks chest and let them find it. I’m gonna shoot for the Castro

Thanks for the link, the Zon delivered today and I went out to take a look. Seems to me it's the condenser, would you agree? Hard to get a camera in there with the bumper, winch, skid, and grill on. I didn't find any other leaks in the engine bay (and I'm going to make the assumption that I only have one leak and that my evaporator isn't leaking too)

Thanks for sharing, I just bought some more 4" cut off blades, and I'm cheap, so for most of my cuts for now on will be a gouge cut.

And if you do plunge cut, only go as deep as you need. I know this sounds geeky but there will be less leverage on the disc.

ive always noticed that doing the plunge cut, I had to hold onto the grinder like a bucking bronco and it was a little sketchy especially with thicker material. So this makes sense, the gouge cut is the way to go, but the real answer is a plasma, you can cut it in less than 5 seconds and no dust. You’d have to factor out the cost of what a plasma costs vs how many cuts you’ll be expecting to do in your lifetime though

I have found that the spray tops off Blaster cans are very useful. I upcycle the ones from empty used Blaster cans and use them on a variety of other spray aerosols cans. The red tip off the brake cleaner gets thrown into the bottle(pic in quoted thread).
Works great! And I like the on / off function of the Blaster tops, if I need to throw a can into a tool bag for transport Etc.
I have preferred Mobil1 filters on everything I own for decades now.
