A/C Leak

[shiftdrift06]

Well, 2 days ago, my a/c works fine, always has, since i had my car (3 Years) Then today, go to turn it on, doesn't really get cold. I wait, still doesn't get cold.

Got home, pop the hood, and heard a hissing noise, near my Drier or A/C Lines leading from the A/C compressor.

My CHILTON's Manual doesn't cover anything about the A/C system and gives me BS about, its illegal to service your own A/C components blah blah blah..

I look up Vatozone and Oreiily's for A/C lines, i don't find anything..

Am I screwed??

You can buy complete A/C systems on the classifieds here or on eBay for about 50 bucks just replace whatever is leaking, vacuum and recharge. Also a lot of garages can rebuild a leaking A/C line for about 30 bucks.
