Default antifreeze / refrigerant mix ?
the antifreeze in leaking on my 96 850.
I spotted the leak on one of the refrigerant line.
my AC needs to be recharged.
I'm wondering where could antifreeze and refrigerant get mixed ?
any ideas ?

Thanks

You sure coolant is coming out of an AC line? where in the bay is this happening?

Dye is often put in freon to help locate leaks. I do not think it is possible for them to mix.

the leak is located at the line that goes to thr receiver/drier of the A/C, next to the A/C valve cap.

I am going with the dye. The two systems are completely separate.
