Vintage Air losing charge

Ok, I've had my system installed now for 6 months and have yet to get to enjoy it for more than a full day. Initial charge didn't last overnight, took it back to my buddy(an industrial HVAC guy who's been doing it for 20 years). We introduced the dye into the system with next charge, none shows and still leaks out overnight to the point where compressor wont engage. Take it back, charge again... Used soap bubbles this time at every connection, still no luck, leaked out overnight. Anybody here have any suggestions on where I should go from here? Cant get a good referral from anyone here in town on who to take it to try and detect where my leak is. I'm about to pull what little hair out that I have left! I have another co-worker that works in our HVAC department who said he can charge it with R-22 and he should be able to see the leak. Does this even sound like a good idea? I don't know.
