Default Air conditioning fluid leak

Hello all,


I saw a few drips of yellow fluid on the garage floor which I remembered was air conditioning fluid.
Used the jack from the boot to raise the suspension a bit and slid underneath and saw the fluid had been leaking from the top.


I have not used the air con in many months.
After cleaning the unit yesterday morning I left it and did not drive the car and checked again this morning, no drips on the floor but some more dripping down the unit.


Awkward to get to, anything obvious I should try or do I need to get the unit reconditioned?
Is it a sealed unit?

You have to find exactly where the fluid came from? At the hoses connectors?

I don't remember it being yellow, but it could be. If you don't know what you are doing, you could mess it up. Have it checked by an AC specialist.

That was the last post from the original poster. He hasn't posted anything on here for over a year and a half. I would have guessed he resolved the problem a log time ago or otherwise has moved on.
