A/C refrigerant leak directly from the center of the compressor seal. 99% certain.
threw on the funny goggles and got out the UV penlight. A/C compressor lit up like a Laser tag house!! removed the under shrouds so could see where it was comign from. definitely from the compressor.
so, the A/C si still working so not enough leaked out very fast. so compressor itself is OK, but maybe the seal? so the BIG BIG question is whether the seal can be replaced in it or does this mean replace entire compressor!??!?!? they aint cheap. and is it OK DIY??? location aint bad. keeping moisture out of the system while it's open.....harder.
HELP!!!!
oh...also have a nice slow oil leak. could be multiple causes but looks like from higher up than the lower crank pulley. hard to tell what the real cause is without cleaning it all and waiting it out again.
got to buy new tires tomorrow too. when it rains here in S.FL, it POORS!
