Yeah +1 on the drier. Should be able to buy it locally aftermarket for about $30. Even with replacing the drier, don't leave your system open! PAG oil absorbs water from the air and becomes useless just like brake fluid does. So put the lines back together to keep moisture out, though you don't have to evacuate or charge.

 

Man, didnt think f that, mk. I will stopper them up pronto! Its gonna be a while for the part to come in- man, you were right about "dont take it apart until you have the part".......

 

man, after caling around to all the local dealers (i couldnt wait for the mail order supplier mk offered) no one had the part! so, i called a local hose guy whom i used before, and he got it done in 5 hiours. and for 1/2 the price. Tubing is heavy duty/upgrade too. I am v dissapointed in the oem honda grade. i chased this leak for 3 months. never suspected rubber. anyway, charged up and cold again.

thanks.
