AirCon leak

Hi,

My 2006 E91 318i is leaking gas from the AC. I the car at a workshop and they connected the AC to a machine that didnt find any leaks, so they filled it up. The techicant looked at all hoses etc and dindt find any leaks. The AC worked fine when i left the shop, but a couple of hous later it was only "fan air" again. Went back to the shop and the system was empty... No more gas... He looked at it and still didnt find any leaks....

Anyone with the same problem? Advice needed!!!

Thanks

Have the shop put a dye in the system when they recharge the A/C again. That way they can trace the leak when it occurs again.
