Air Conditioning Issue
A/C recently quit working...bud hadn't yet had a chance to get it in for diagnosis but then, yesterday, I took the van out for a quick trip. A/C was off but I had the blower on high with the vent setting only. As soon as I returned and reached my driveway the "check gauges" light illuminated. The engine temperature was at the top end.....HOT. I shut her down and heard hissing and found a pretty good sized leak already forming from the side (driver's side) about half way down. Underneath the A/C lines running to the back of the van were venting steam and condensing fluid to create the leak. It took quite a while for the hissing/leak to stop. To me the fluid definitely smelled like A/C fluid.
Any ideas what is going on?
