My A/C blew up last night!!
I got home from work and was watching a little t.v. when I heard a pop followed by alot of hissing. I went outside and heard it coming from under my hood. I first thought I blew a radiator hose but when I opened the hood there was oil everywhere. I found that one of my a/c lines that go to the evaporator (in the firewall) had come off. I didnt see and damage to the line or the evaporator but it was bown right off. What would cause something like this? The a/c blew ice cold with no problems before this. Do you guys think the evaporator will have to be replaced or maybe just the line? Thanks for any input. Chris

Well, the proper way is to replace the filter drier and orifice tube (any time the system is open they recommend). Then once everything is in place pull a vacuum on the system and fill.
Real world, sometimes you can get away without replacing anything but the line. However, humidity is what kills the filter drier, and its been really humid the past couple of days.
