AC Help Needed Badly!!! Ok, so I did a spark plug change yesterday, and a buddy was giving me a hand. Well, he pulled on the house circled in the pic on the passenger side to try to make some room, and apparently messed it up, because now my a/c doesn't work, and it leaks out the freon. Does anyone know how to remove this hose, and if it can be gotten from a local parts store? It is to hot to be without the air!!!

well, i assumed that was the problem, because when I tried putting freon in it, up at the top it was leaking a green substance, so I thought maybe that was the dye in the freon to locate leaks....

ok, after further investigating, it is the high side hose that runs parallel to the one circled. It was misleading me because it was shooting out onto the other hose, and i was thinking that was the one leaking.
I recently had to replace my hoses. I found the best prices at rockauto. They were cheaper than any other parts store by a ton and only took about 30 mins to put in. Just make sure you have the system vacuumed afterwards and refilled. Good luck.
replacing line and just adding freon? not the best idea.
the refrigerant attracts water and if you expose it to atmosphere it will ruin is efficiency [read: ability to exchange heat, lose cooling performance]
you need to vacuum the system clean after replacing the lines, then recharge it.
