FYI, if you use one of those stop leak products, chances are you can never have any work done by a shop on your ac system again.
Shops usually use a machine to identify the refrigerant\contaminants in your system. If there is a certain percentage of contaminants they'll refuse to work on your system. Nobody wants to contaminate their expensive equipment with that stuff.
I used to work in a shop in Phoenix (ie alot of ac work in summer!!!). First question we would ask is if you used stop leak. Then we tested it just to make sure. If they did or we detected a high pct of conamtination, we refused to work on the system. Even if you replace the suspect component, in order to recharge the system, you would contaminate the equipment.
