A/C Leak Help!

[Spanky12345]

Howdy-

I have an A/C leak on my 95 GST and I have put U/V dye in the system and it leaked out in 2 days. I think its leaking into the cabin because I felt like shit for those 2 days I drove with the AC on, probably poisoning myself.

The problem is I cant find any "glowing" dye traces when I run the blacklight over the engine.

Are there certain areas I should be looking for the dye? And how do I check the A/C evap core? How do I access it? from behind the dash/center console?

Thanks!

Usually you check all visible things for dye. You should be able to see everything except the evap core. If you find no signs of a leak and the freon is gone in 2 days you surely have a leak and the only place you haven't seen is the core. So you have to pull it out and replace it. But be sure to use the light on it after you get it out just to be sure.

Be sure to check the lines where they connect to the compressor they use o rings to seal the lines t to the pump and the o rings can dry out and crack over time. JUst a thought. Also i think they sell a/c stop leak stuff thats similar to like the shit you throw in a leaky radiator. Might be worth a try before you start replacing coils.

All-

Thanks for your replies. I have run the light all over looking for dye but I will try again around the compressor. My next question is how do I get to the evap core?

-Thanks

were you looking around with the light while the a/c was on?

No. Should I have been?
