A/C Problems
All--
I've traced the source of my A/C woes to this part, see pic. It's the (I believe) the high-side pipe, between the condenser and the compressor, and the fitting sticking out is leaking out of the top. I can put a can of 134a in (it's been retrofitted), but the pressure of the system drops like a rock because of this item. I can hear it 'fsssssss' out of the top of this while it's running--20 minutes later, there's no pressure in the system whatsoever.
I don't know what part I'm looking at, whether I'd have to get a whole new pipe from the dealer (as I can't find a similar-looking pipe on the 'net).
Can somebody help me out as to what I'm looking at, what the purpose is, and how I can find a fix or replacement other than the dealer. Thanks a bunch.
