What part is this? AC/Condenser Line Connection

I was told by the previous owner that the AC will leak out over the course of a few days. I charged it with UV Dye Refrigerant and have yet find anything obvious. This part looks pretty trashed and seems like an obvious leak point. Does anyone know what this part is called and where to find a replacement? This on the passenger side upper corner of the condenser.

 

I'm not sure exactly, but I'd start by looking at the parts diagrams and try to get your bearings (follow the lines) https://parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2...CONDITIONING---COOLER-PIPING/674460-8718.html There are a few different diagrams, but the majors seem to be the same among them.

 

that just looks like a bracket to hold the refrigerant line, unless you see UV dye coming from that area, I would move onto something else. That said, a complete condenser replacement may include that part, and they aren't too expensive. Denso (aftermarket) makes one. No idea how much the price has gone up lately tho.

 

That's the line that goes across the condenser to your drier and the other end connects to a line that goes to the evaporator.

I did some research and found three part numbers for the same line:

8871604120
8871604280
8871604122

 

Oops, looking at the picture again, it looks like the line from the drier to your evaporator is the issue. Three part numbers again, not sure what the differences are if any:

8871604112
8871604111
8871604270

Here's a diagram as well for you

 

Appreciate everyone's input. I am thinking this looks like part number 88718-04070. I believe that is merely a bracket that holds the line from the low (?) pressure line to the drier. Which would mean there shouldn't be an potential leakage coming from this rusted part.

 

Well I think I found the leak. Curiously the liquid does not show up with UV light. Not sure what is going on there but this leak wasn't there yesterday. Thinking this is part 88711-04060. Hoping that I might be able to just replace the gaskets/rings that are there but if not it looks like I need to buy that entirely new part. Any thoughts?

 

I think the leak is in your condenser unfortunately. There's an o-ring seal between the two aluminum blocks that join the hose to the condenser, one has a hole and the other has a tube with an o-ring that fits into the hole. It could be coming out there, but it looks like most of the oil is building up around where the mating piece joins the condenser core. It's pretty easy to pull the condenser, take off the plastic sleeves it sits in and look for damage.

 

Anyone think it is a bad call to try for a junkyard condenser? There is one nearby and it might have one.

 

Honestly condensers are pretty cheap, I'd just buy a new Denso on Amazon for less than $100. If you are replacing it make sure that you replace your drier and expansion valve and all o-rings.

Thanks. Why replace the drier and expansion valve? I definitely will plan on replacing all O rings.

 

Always replace the drier when you open up an A/C system as it can become ineffective when exposed to air for a long time. I've always changed the expansion valve as a preventative measure since the system is drained and if you're replacing all the o-rings you're right there anyway.

 

Here's a kit with everything you need to replace the condenser and all seals along with the receiver/dryer and expansion valve: https://www.ebay.com/itm/111984906487?fits=Year:2002|Model:Tacoma
I just pulled a whole system but went new for the condenser since these are exposed to the elements and prone to corrosion.
