Usually the compressor. I have a used one if you are interested. But fill it up with the dye just to make sure.

Mine dos not work anymore tho..
had the system filled up on start of month and now its empty.
seems that it had been leaking before i filled it up again.
leaks beside the compressor head where the pulley shaft goes into the compressor.
Need to replace a head gasket and change the bearing should be ok again after that.
