Well, as my earlier post said, I have a small leak in my A/C system since the car's A/C worked for a good couple months after the system was recharged....although the car was not really driven during that time period since it was in storage so I don't know if that had any affect on the coolant taking a while to leak out.
Any ways, I found some yellow glasses and took my black light out to the dark garage. The bleeder valve that is located at the front of the car by the battery that normally has some type of plastic/foam insulator around the coolant lines that connect to it and they have some corrosion in one spot right next to where that bleeder valve is. The suspected spot has a dye-like (yellow-ish) tint to it in about a 2" long section when put under the light. I'm not sure if corrosion always looks that way under the black light on that type of metal but my amateur opinion is that the coolant was able to slowly leak/sweat out through that that weakened section of tubing. Don't get me wrong, it is not heavily corroded...it is actually hard to notice unless you run your hands over it and feel the roughness.
Any ways, if you guys agress with my assumption, then how in the world would I replace that section of tubing. That metal section of tubing then appears to be permanently attached to a larger rubber tubing which then goes down and connects to the compressor. Looks like a hard fix if I have to replace that whole line.....
