I developed a coolant leak (which I have since fixed) and lost most of the fluid. with no coolant in the radator the fans quit working. I was out of town at the time so I put some stop leak in the system and began filling and bleeding the system in hopes of making it home till I could do a permenent fix. I my haste I forgot to turn off the A/C, the system over heated and a hose (I assume) blew followed by a large R 12 discharge. I work off shore a lot and have not had time to look for the place where the system blew but I know it was some where in the engine compartment. Any body have a suggestion where to look first, i.e. which A/C hose comming off the compressor? As it turns out my fan was not going to work because it had throne the blade off the motor. I ended up renting a flat bed trailer and calling a friend with a truck. Everything is fixed now except the A/C and I have relearned an old lesson....Haste really does make waste. Thanks to all who can help
