Default Help identify leak

Battery died after cold storage for 3 weeks, so I pulled it and brought it in the house, but when I was unhooking the cables I saw this leak, wtf?

Looks like the AC system Drier with the in & out high pressure lines connected to it. If someone has a diagram chart of the C8 AC system, it would be easy to confirm.

That appears to be the AC leaking. At least from the picture it looks like the dye in the system.
