Re: A/C oil leaking from the A/C compressor and its hose in 2003 Windstar

Could you give me some internet sellers like "Rockauto.com" where I can find A/C hose which is appropriate to my windstar ?

thanks

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.
