hey there. i joined this board hoping that one of you might be able to help me.
i've got a 91 cutlas ciera that treats me right, except on occasions such as these.
i like to do DIY repairs as much as i can as long as it's within my limits. hopefully somebody can help me.
here's my problem:
i noticed that the floormat on the passenger side of the car was wet. upon inspection i saw that it was antifreeze. great. so, i took apart most of the dashboard trying to get closer to the problem. the fireproofing(i guess... insulation stuff) on the panels from under the glovebox was saturated. i kept looking and found that the leak was coming from a black plastic piece to the left of the glovebox and behind the heating controls. i'm assuming this is part of the air conditioning unit.
my question is, what could be the problem here? i really know nothing at all about air conditioning.
i have the service manuals for an 87 cutlas ciera(my old car) and they're about 90% accurate, so i've been looking to them for help, but i really don't know where to begin looking.
help please!
