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
