I have seen a similar product at Wal-Mart, can't remember it's name, but it
claims to seal all leaks including in the hoses. Since I also have a slow
leak I would be very interested in whether it works or is more snake oil.
One thing I did notice at the end of the instructions for this product, is
that once you put it in, you must   IMEDIATELY top up with Freon (R12 or
134a), otherwise it will seal up the pressure port as well!
