i dont know where to post this so i guess its going here.
anyway i got a parrot ice slush machine model #307 it comes on and spins around but doesnt get cold, the compressor does come on. so i opened it up and there is oil all over the bottom of it, so i know theres a leak somewhere. is there a cheap way ( the klov way) to find out where its leaking from. my local resturant supply company wont touch it since its parrot ice, they said i had to call them for repair on it. it also takes r502 which i found out is not cheap.
heres some pics of it. click them to make them bigger.



 
you may have to recharge it and add dye to see where the leak it coming from...

if it was mine id try to convert it to r-134a as thats available just about anywhere..

is it has the standard r-12/r-22 type fitting(looks like it does) you can also get a low side r12 to r134a adapter at a local auto parts store as well...

looks to me like its either leaking out the bottom of the compressor or from the line with the foam on it
