As a dealership employee I can tell you that many service managers have their hands tied when it comes to warranty repairs. A dealership is a franchise, so ANY warranty work has to be approved by higher ups in the corporate ladder when it is usually more than 1000 miles above the warranty. Call your regional rep, and if that doesn't work, call the corporate office. Seriously, talk about how much you love your van, and that if this is an indication of how the dealerships are run by Toyota, that you will go to Nissan for your next car purchase. 99% of the time you will be SUPPRISED by how fast they react to help you out. Expect an offer of probably a 50/50 split if they don't cover the entire repair.
The "die" test that you refered to is actually a "dye" test where a florescent dye is added to the refrigerant system to help locate a leak. Good luck, and keep us up to date!
