What is your question?
I just recharged my A/C system myself using a robin air machine. I used 134a and added .5 oz of refrigerant oil and a total of 1.01 lbs of refrigerant. I noticed after the car sat from Saturday 4/20 to when i got into my car this morning 4/22 i smelt a strong pag oil scent. I suspect it may be an evaporator leak but I want to be sure before i go and have it repaired by me or a toyota dealership.

Check static charge pressures - have they changed? Is a/c system still cooling as it should? UV sensitive dye can be added to system then an ultraviolet light can be used for leak detection.
IF evaporator leak is suspect - UV dye will be present in the condensation (water) dripping out onto the ground - and visible at the drain tube.. Can get some droplets of the water draining out on your hand and check it with UV light. Bottom line is the leak must be accurately located before any other repair attempts are made or contemplated upon.
