    They certainly do. Try a different store.

    1993 was one of the first years for major evaporator leakage problems
    industrywide. Many mfrs were changing to R134a and the evaporators they were
    using (I don't know just what the difference was - maybe different alloy?)
    began developing pinhole leaks. The problem was traced to corrosion caused
    by dirt and pollen building up in the condensation on the evaporator and
    forming a corrosive mud. Sealants would stop the initial leak, but more
    would form. By 1995 just about everybody had added the now ubiquitous cabin
    air filters to keep the mud from forming.

    Just to let you know.

    I used "J&B Weld" and it worked perfectly.
    After A/C was refilled mechanic checked it for leakage and it was OK.

    It cost me $9 for "J&B weld" and $140 for the refil with conversion ( CAD) .


    Thanks for your advices.
