Default coolant on the ac compressor???
noticed today while i was trying to figure out how to take the rs ground effects off my 98 z28 that ive got some coolant on my ac compressor. i cant figure out where its coming from. it doesnt run hot at all. coolant level looks good. any ideas? i have a feeling its a slow leak from somewhere and its just building up on the bottom of the ac compressor.

check your lower radiator hose and heater hoses... those are all in the general vicinity of the ac compressor... you might check the coolant lines going to your throttle body and the ones under your intake and the upper radiator hose just for kicks

Its not coolant. How on earth would coolant get over there. Seen pics posted here a million times...its always refridgerant.

Wipe it all down really good, wait a day and check again.
