What came out of your Ac lines was R134a, and actually since its escaped the lines your a criminal. Its illegal to vent it into free air( ie not into a container). But I wont report you cause you didnt know. lol Now your ac wont work until you recharge it and maybe replace a few seals.

But on the bright side, if you can remove the lines from the engine bay you wont cause anymore harm to the ac system. And if you can remove the lines you hopefully wont have anymore clearance issues.

Edit: I was just messin bout the criminal thing. Wanted to clarify that before it could get out of hand. It is illegal but I cant say I havent done it myself.

I figured it was the AC coolant, but was confused because it didn't burn... Nor did I die

Any info on how to recharge this and seal it? I couldn't figure out how to close the leak, and I didn't see any o-rings or gaskets on the lines. I would like to use the AC again sometime soon though lol.

On the plus side, I think I'll make the best of a somewhat crappy situation and tear those suckers out temporarily to give me the needed clearance.

Nexus, I was toying with the idea of pulling the downpipe off, but I believe it's going to be near impossible to bolt it on once it's in the engine. If the above doesn't work, that'll be next though.

Oh and coheed, I'm not entirely sure which is cheaper. I can tell you right now the Zage kit runs at $1800 and, so far, has only needed some additional bolts and brass fittings. I think pimp my yaris is up to nearly $1000 on his custom install and still has a couple things left to buy. Keep a close eye on the two of us
