Default Green fluid below ac

Either something is leaking in my car or the Incredible Hulk pissed in my engine bay...........I'm going with the Hulk pissing lol.

I decided to spray the Caliper bolts with PB Blaster and let em sit over night because on Thursday my new Calipers are going to be here. While I was getting out from under the car I noticed this lovely neon green fluid near my AC...............im thinking coolant, but I use Toyota Red . AC maybe? Not really sure.





Also while under there I noticed how bad my tranny mount is lol..........time order a new one.

Definitely a/c freon leakage. The green is a dye so you can spot a leak.

Don't loosen that bolt since the remaining freon and dye could explode out in a quick burst...in YOUR face.

Let a pro reclaim the freon replace the o-ring's at those junctions. Shouldn't cost much at all.

Yeah AC systems are not some thing I like to screw with, but since I NEVER use the ac and the heat isnt needed for the 7-8 months I'm going put this on the back burner until I can get my brakes and starting issue squared away.
