A/C leak suggestions

A/C has blew gas out through the pressure relief valve at the compressor. I took it to the mechanic who said expansion valve was stuck closed which caused the high pressure and replaced the valve. The system held the charge for only 2 days and was empty.
I took it back to the shop which charged it again for free and added some UV-dye to help find the leak. Today I went to the shop to have a look with a UV-lamp in compressor area but they didn't find anything obvious.
It has held the charge for 2 days now, but I'm still wondering where the first charge went. Before I go to the shop the next time I would appreciate suggestions for common leak places.
My guesses are over pressure valve or expansion valve (block type) connection to evaporator.
any other places to inspect ? Before the repair the system held the charge for half a year (since getting a new compressor)
