Green liquid coming from ac drain hose on passenger side firewall

Aloha, I noticed green liquid coming from the drain hose the one that drips on the frame and just filled it with ac pro and is keeps coming out even if the truck is off. Anyone know why it's coming out and how to fix? Mahalo

 

Betting your AC System don't work either. It is probably coming from the evaporator coil in the AC System under the dash. The green tint is the dye. It is leaking. The fix is to replace the evaporator coil. Real pain in the @ss.

Dealer will be very expensive I would guess.

 

This is a time lapse video of an evap core replacement on a Tacoma.

The first part is they replaced the condenser also you can skip that part the evaporator coil is inside under the dash which all has to come out.

Not for the inexperienced or faint of heart.

 

Yup. And AC-pro is bad juju.

 

Meh, if the video has been fast forward at a speed of 10x normal rate, it looks like anyone of us can repair this in an hour.

 

Or just take it to the dealership in the video. I’m pretty sure that mechanic has a serious cocaine problem

 

Thank you guys so much for the help I want to try it myself but do you need to take the whole dash off?anyone ever di it yourself?

 

Yes, the entire dash and the bar have to come out.

If you want to then go for it. It is a lot to take on but it's your truck.

I would confirm the leak is the evaporator before tearing into it. It would be highly disappointing to tear it down and find out otherwise.

 

Wow!

 

lol yep! And then put it all back together.
But hey, AC Pro fixes leaks, right?

 

HAHA .. thats my truck.

I posted this over the summer when I replaced my evap core.
Took me two days to do it and my skill level on car stuff is pretty entry level.
I did have to remove the supercharger on my truck to disconnect the lines going to heating core so that added to the time of the project.

 

And in my case it was the evap core.

If you have a black light look around the engine bay to see if you see any of the dye glowing.

I couldn't find anything which is when I realized I had to pull the dash apart and replace the evap core.

 

Oni06 did yours leak from the little drain plug that comes out of the fire wall?

 

no

 

Got any more photos of the evap and heater core inside the plastic hvac shroud?

 

Woah! Just install a sunroof.
That's an easier task.

 

I do not. Sorry.

Was in a bit of a time crunch when I did this so I didn't grab many photos.

 

Is your taco from Vulcan?
