It’s black on the chassis, and some clear under the hood, like on the firewall. But if that’s the substance, I don’t get why it took two weeks to start dripping… about the time that the black stopped.

Does the fluid look, smell, (taste :puke:), like woolwax? Should be easy to rule that out.

I didn’t apply it so I can’t answer that one now but I’m going to head up to the place that did and see what they have to say.

Did you have a longer run time when you noticed the "stuff"? Maybe heat caused it to flow.

Definitely not the Woolwax. There is the lanolin smell and slightly darker color. Viscosity is a little bit thinner.

Yea, that came out wrong. Meant no lanolin smell on my drip, but there was a strong smell on the lanolin at the shop.

Yes, I get slurpy brain freeze cold out of that thing. Could there be a leak but the refrigerant is still there doing it’s thing?
Not sure about that. When did you last try it. It looks like PAG oil, but your there, I’m not.
