My 95 4Runner (3VZE, Automatic) is leaking a flourescent green fluid from a metallic line that looks like it runs from a small fan in front of the radiator (behind the grill), runs underneath the battery pan, and heads toward the firewall. The leak was spraying a really fine mist straight up in the air, so I don't think its anti-freeze, even though it really looks like it. A bit more background info.
I bought the truck four years ago, and the a/c didn't work. Had it recharged, and for three years the a/c worked fine. Last summer (7-8 months ago) the a/c stopped working. I've noticed that the line that has the leak is caked with the same green fluid, now dried on the outside of the metallic line.
My first guess is that the fluid is the a/c refrigerant, but the msds for R134A and R12 both say that the fluid is colorless. Its too dark outside for me to take a pic now, but I can tomorrow if necessary.
Without pics, does anyone have an idea?
Thanks for any advice.
