I replaced the whole line and didn't worry about where it blew, it was gone any way. I didn't want to patch or splice it. My shop that does my AC work had a local hose shop make a new one with my connectors. That was two years ago.

Any body have a suggestion where to look first, i.e. which A/C hose coming off the compressor? >>
