Re: input please

there are some kind seal or something that usually goes bad. The hoses should be cheap, but replace those and go from there.

Re: input please

does it looks like it's leaking from the hoses hooked to the compressor? Usually, the compressor seal blows, and it just throws the freeon all over the motor when you run it. I put dye in mine when I had a blown compressor seal, and after two days of running the A/C, the whole front of my engine was covered in dye.

Re: input please

my input is make a more useful title next time so people that know answers to your problem can help you instead of "input please".

That doesn't help those that know the answers that can help you or people searching for a similar answer later on

I just went through the exact same thing and had to get a new compressor....@ $600. I hope yours is just a hose or something cheap.

Re: input please

i replaced my compressor, the hose, and dryer, for around $300, i charged it myself, i have all the equipment through work, but its all easy to change yourself

Re: input please

I paid $175 for all mine installed and charged. It helps if you know someone that works for the county that gets big discounts on parts :D That was compressor, orifice tube and condensor I believe.
