   Finished all the oil changes this weekend.  Put the synthetic in my car and   
   regular oil in the truck and my daughter's car.     
      
   I also used the UV light to try and find the A/C leak and I might have located   
   it.  I did see one connection that had a good deal of "glow" around a fitting.   
   It is located off the compressor / hose that runs to near the radiator.  There   
   is a fitting that couples that A/C line to another A/C line that runs   
   somewhere near the radiator.  There is stuff and a glow around where they   
   meet.  So far, that was all I could find.   
      
   I did notice my driver's side CV axle is starting to throw some grease on the   
   inner boot.  That axle has been replaced before, too.  Must have been a bad   
   part.     
      
   Not sure if I want to try to replace that CV axle myself or take it somewhere.   
   I will buy the part either way.  I know I can remove it from the wheel bearing   
   side, but not sure how to do the side that goes in the transmission.  That   
   makes me a bit nervous.   
      
   It isn't a major problem yet, but it is on my radar now..
