just wanted to close this "case" so to speak

yes i know u have to replace condensor/drier canister. they did so. they replaced 2 lines they said were leaking tho i can only find one that looks new. the L pressure line that has the big bulge that connects to the compressor.

the a/c works perfectly so am in no troubles at this moment.

thank you jay for the info.

oh and my new drier is brand new obviously it came shiny/polished so if u get the new one for garrett's you might not have to do it. (but no it doesnt compare to stage 2 its only like stage 1 shine)
