AC leak? evaporator / drier?

Last year (July) I had the dealer replace the evaporator in my 95 900S. The system worked well for the summer, then I did not use it, and when I started again last month, it was half-working. Took it to the dealer who simply recharged it (it was down 50%) and added dye tracer.
Two weeks later the R-134A is more like R-000A, and the system does not work. I took the car to a very experienced generalist who suggested that the dealer should look at it (1 year warranty on work of the evaporator) but also said that if they did not replace the drier at the same time, stuff in the old drier could have damaged the new evaporator in a hurry, and that every time the evaporator is changed you should change the drier.
He did look with the black light for any signs of tracer, but we could not find any in the engine compartment...
Any ideas? is the guy's theory plausible? I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow...
