Well I found my AC R134a leak. I bought some Walmart R134a with the dye in it and added it to the system. I then saw some smoke coming off of the passenger side after it ran a bit with the compressor cycling. Well, I look around a bit and saw green puking out all over the ground. At first I thought it was coolant, but then I noticed it was coming out of an AC line. Yeah, that yellowy UV dye actually worked in finding a leak lol.
Well, I looked at the line in question and its the one that goes from the condenser to the firewall. It appears to be all metal, with only some foam insulation in spots. I took off the insulation in one spot (after I took these pics) and noticed it was super rusty and scaley. So I guess that is why a hole formed.
So, where can I get this line? Is there a special name for it? (High pressure line, ect..)
Line on bottom - this is where it enters the firewall
Line on bottom. This is where it comes from the condenser
