The most likely sign that the evaporator is bad is that the system keeps leaking R-134 and wont hold a charge. The best thing to do is get yourself a recharge kit that has a gauge and check to see what the low side pressure reading is. If its R-134 it should be around 25 to 33 PSI on the low side. Because of the new type of refrigerant R-134 has to run at a much higher pressure then the old R-12 and some components had to be "BEEFED UP" to handle the higher pressure but because of this higher pressure it can sometimes lead to a leak down the road.

What would cause a bad odor from the AC on a 1998 Ford Expedition?

It can be caused by condensation on the evaporator core and mold. Some times you can put some deodorant in the fresh air duct, but if it gets real bad, the dealer has some stuff they can spray on the evaporator core, but it isn't cheap. If the odor is fishy smelling it is probably caused by a LEAK in your HEATER CORE.
