Default Damn A/c! ! ! !

Well it started leaking from the back again so the system ran dry so i figured it was just the back seals again so i change them and fill it back up blow freakin cold. BUT STILL LEAKS WTF?!?!!

im getttin pissed im almost 95% sure its leaking from the back seals but i may be wrong it could be leaking from the line... there is green dye in there and that looks to be where its coming from...

thanks

What car is this for ? Back of what (firewall, condenser, compressor, Heater/AC Box , etc)? A little more information would help.

Did you try replacing the seal that is suspect ?

You have two choices.. replace the whole compressor with another one or rebuild one... or replace the seal with new seals.

Is it the Manifold or the bearing area that is leaking ?

go to autozone and get a can of this dye stuff and put it in as if it's refrigerant and put the car in a dark garage. run the ac for a few mins then check with a black light then you'll know where the leak is coming from.
