A/C leak I cannot find

Yes, you have a leak, typically when you can't find it will be leaking from one of three places, the compressor seal near the clutch, the evaporator or condenser core, I visual or leak detector can help with finding the problem, when using a leak detector there can be no wind or breeze whatsoever. Also, when using the leak detector check at the bottom of the compressor clutch, refrigerant will sink because it is heavier than air. This guide and video will help:

Hello, thank you for the response. I’ve already changed the evap, so I know it’s not that. So, you’re saying I should get an electronic detector and go that route? I’ve used the UV to try to find the leak I found nothing. Just wondering if there is a leak wouldn’t the tv dye leak out and show under light or no?

Condenser looks good to go no bends or wear and tear and no up around condenser.

Found the leak replaced orifice no loss of suction in the lines. Recharged the system, it was blowing cold but still gaining pressure, the switch kicked and turned compressor off. I would imagine there is a blockage somewhere after seeing the orifice tube. any idea what to do next?

Yep, with the orifice looking like that the compressor is coming apart and spreading the seal material throughout the system. You can get a couple of cans of A/C system flush and a new compressor.
