Hmm, I will check out the condenser as well. When I hooked up my gauges I had 0 psi on high and low side, and never smelt any Freon during the vacuuming down. My diagnostic tool was reading 5psi on the high side when it was around 80deg out. I'm pretty sure I had nothing in the lines to recover.
Before I buy any parts, I am going to charge with 1 can of 1234yf-uv (8oz) to find the leak for sure.
