If you happen to find the leak,and your able to repair it, change the drier and don,t leave the tap valve on your copper line,they have a chance of leaking after a while. Use a[saddle] valve that is soldered to the low side of the system....good luck

Here is an update: I found a pinhole leak in one of the solder joints and repaired it (I hope that this was the only leak that I have but there is dye in the system in case there is another leak somewhere else). Next, I replaced the dryer and added a solder-in access valve (as recommended). Recharged the system and it is running at ~3 inHG and everything seems nice and chilly. It looks like I need to turn the thermostat up a little though.  I'll let it run a few days and see how everything works. Thanks for all the assistance!!!
