Ok, found the leak on my a/c system... It is leaking at a connector. The line comes from the radiator area and runs to the round cannister (evaporater?) The connector is metal, round, with some sort of clip that holds it together.
My questions are:
-- Is there an O-ring in that connector or is it just some sort of compression fitting?
-- Is this a high pressure line or is it low pressure?
-- Is there a special tool to disconnect/reconnect it?
I'm happy that I've found the leak and that the system works as long as there's a fresh charge of 134a, but I'm clueless about that connector. I've seen that sort of connector on fuel lines before in, ahem, GM cars.
Thanks!
