I was thinking of filling it with R134 and using an electronic leak detector but it is hard to get fittings that will allow that.

Had the same problem on the wifes RX 8. Took it to the dealer twice & they couldn't find a leak. I finally found it. The screw in valve stem was loose.

Tightened it up & solved the problem.
