Default A/C weird leak

Got an odd issue to pick the collective brains of the forum on - My A/C hasn’t worked for the last 18 months;I went for a recharge and it wouldn’t hold the vacuum so have had a warm cabin ever since.

I have finally got it to my friendly master tech and he’s having difficulty finding the leak!

The system completely fails to hold the vacuum at all, no problem he thought, the leak is that bad that it should be pretty easy to hear when he pressurises the system.

But no, here’s the oddity, it holds positive pressure.

Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms and where did the leak end up being?
