Vents Blowing Freon!

My AC system had been leaking, so I used UV dye. It seemed to be coming out of the high pressure port. I tightened the valve stem, and that seemed to fix it.

It was bowing cold for a few days, then Wham!!! Freon suddenly burst out of my cabin vents and nearly choked me out!!!

Am I in for a new Evaporator????

Fortunately I was just getting off work and I was still in the parking lot! ...a Tall Mickey's cured my symptoms from the freon exposure!

DANG IT!!!

Oh well...at least I can get that part of the car fixed up nice.

Until then, it's going to be a HOT summer in Phoenix. I will probably be done just in time for the cool weather in October!!
