NEW A/C Compressor Guys...question
I recently had a local shop install a new delco compressor along with the orfice, accumalator and lower hose.
It's been about 2 months no problems, but 2 days ago I found green oil on my garage floor, when I lifted the car the lower hose on the compressor has the drip.
Cant tell if where it's coming from
They wont take a look at my car till Monday, what could it be?

Usually those lower hoses, which is actually one long *** hose that goes from the very top to the very bottom.......leaks from the metal coupler where metal meets rubber. If its a really slow leak, leak stop should fix it. I'm going on 1 month and not a drop has come out after putting in leak stopper.
But if they replaced the hose with a new one, it must be covered, so they should have to replace it.

I looked found the bolt that holds it and I gave it another good 3/4 turn. Hopefully it was just a little loose, what sucks is that it's been 2 months and no leak. And now out of no where a leak, you would think if it was going to leak it would happen within a few days.
Oh well, I'm going to check it tomorrow and see if it stopped and then take it in Monday. At which point I need to suggest a thorough check and or stop leak. We'll see thanks!

Tale a picture if you can.
That lower hose has 3 bolts. One that attaches to the top canister (evaporator) then it snakes down to the back of the compressor and has a bolt, then it goes to the condensor and bolts to it at the passengers side bottom corner.
