The AC on my 1997 Explorer stoped working yesterday. I thought that it might be low on freon, and I bought one of those small cans and charged it my self. After I was done I shut the motor off and I could hear a leak coming from that small canister where you put the freon in at. After I looked closer I noticed that there is a foam rubber pad that is wrapped around the canister, and underneath the pad was ton of rust. The leak was coming from one of the rust patches. I guess it has rusted all the way through to the inside. Is this common? What is that canister called and how much will it cost me to replace it? Thanks
