Hey guys, so my a/c went out a year ago, and I just didnt ever use it. Now it's topping 100 degrees everyday, and I wanted it fixed. Took everything apart, and ran some dyed fluid through it, and it was full of holes. So a friend gave me his (same model/year car) and when we tested his, it was fine. I fit it in, and got the a/c recharged. Well, it started fuming almost instantly. They put dye in it when they refilled it again, and I don't see anything, but it's def leaking somewhere in that general area.
It's either the condenser or the radiator. Maybe I could have damaged the pressure side while installing it?
I have the original radiator, and I'm upping to aluminum here soon.
 
Could be the receiver/drier. Shouldn't ever use a used one. And if they put die in how come they can't see it to find the leak? You know you need a black light and special glasses to see he die right? Maybe find someone with a freon sniffer, mine finds leaks super fast :)
 
Turned out to be the radiator after all. replaced it, vacuumed the lines, and it runs perfectly! It's the last day of November, and I'm still having to use it!!
