Default AC slushing sound

Hey guys,

Recently change out the C5 compressor as the original was squeeling due to ac clutch corrosion and sitting un used for years. Prior to changing it out I notice that sometime around corners I would hear a slushing sound.

Now after the change the new compressor it cools great and functions perfect, but I am hearing the slushing sound when I go around corners still.

Some searching tells me it could be the condensation drain hose along the passenger firewall being partially obstructed and not draining properly. Could this be a culprit?

I do live in coastal Florida with extreme humidity. Suggestions welcomed, and I have the equipment to full revacuum and recharge if the answer is that I need to pull a vacuum for a long time to drain any moisture out of the system.

Sounds like your drain hose needs cleaning.

Yes for sure. Also once I got into it having a bunch of water in the bottom of the motor doesn't help. Replaced the blower motor resistor and the motor.

Look at the old controller:
