Thanks for the valuable description and direction and also for the website. I think I can not do it by myself ( as never involved with AC components before). However, I want to say something that not sure what the leak is (oil,freon/refrigerant or coolant) because it is green colored and I checked my engine coolant and it is yellow and it should not be engine oil. I puzzled because it is coming from the hose right besides to AC compressor.
Anyway, I will take it to a mechanic and will repsonse to you what he did and told me about this...
And I forgot to tell you something. Yes I have rear A/C but it is not giving cold air backside. I use only front side so rearside people wait for the cool air to come them...
Thanks for your effort

The pressure in that line can run from a low of around 25psi to upwards of 350psi depending on whether it is on the pressure or suction side. If you do replace it you will need to get your system evacuated of freon first, change out the hose - may require special spring lock tools - and then have the system re-evacuated (vacuumed) and then re-charged with freon. If you are not pretty comfortable with the work and/or have never worked with A/C components you may want to have the work done. I did notice on Rockauto.com that there are several possibilities for A/C hoses (depending on whether or not you have rear A/C) so be sure you have the correct one.
Good luck
Let us know how it turns out.
