Sounds Mermaid is the way to go, and I am sure they would do a good job checking everthing else out too. I have had nothing but good luck with them in the past.

Well I'll get it out first, get it looked at and make decision. I like the idea of getting new coil but shipping a 6 year old unit UPS Ground back a forth I am not crazy about.

Well, its out, not as bad I thought. I will try to post pictures of leak area later.

Its out and going to Mermaid:

Sent to Mermaid Marine Air. They got it yesterday 9/3. Fixed it with new coil, detailed unit, recharge unit and shipping: $256.00 Ships back today 9/4

Got it from Mermaid within three days of as promised. Fast turn around.

Note new coil:
