A/C dripping - 9/3/2007 12:28:27 PM    StangBoy89   Posts: 15 Joined: 9/3/2007 Status: offline    Ok so I recently found out that I have my ac fluid dripping down onto my exhaust manifold, is that a bad thing or does it matter since the manifold is so hot it just evaporates?? Post #: 1

Over time you might have a leak that you can either replace the headers, or weld them like Daytripper said.

Hot air on the cold compressor makes condensation. It's not gonna crack the exhaust manifold. They'll do that on their own. It's not A/C fluid. You'd know if your car was leaking freon. lmao _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: code3GT I have never heard of a non-brand name car....would that be like a Fred's Fun Wagon?
