Title: A/C and Vacum Leak... I think??
Post by: geo1400 on 26 February 2009, 16:39:49

Hi,

My 2001 Omega Exec 3.2 V6 has sprung a leak! It's coming from the front left under the Battery tray. It's a very small leak and is bright green in Colour, I'm almost positive it's not Coolant because my mixture isn't as concentrated as that.

I took a few bits apart and traced it to a little metallic silver box connected to what I think are A/C pipes (i'm no mechanic BTW). The picture gives the location:

Any idea what it is and if I can fix it myself?

Next thing, Vacum leak. In the below picture are some vacum pipes that I found hanging with a bolt stuck in to stop the air coming in/out. Any idea what that is?

Thanks and appreciate any help.
p.s. car is LHD, if that makes any difference.

Top pic - looks like a leakage from AC system.  Get an AirCon specialist to look at it prior to trying to regass.

Bottom pic - looks like vac pipes that should connect to front trumpet area (in front of engine).
