AC leak?
 
I noticed a weird chirping noise while driving on the highway today, it went away after a few minutes, I pulled over for gas shortly after and checked around to see if there were any obvious culprits. There was a fluid on the low pressure AC line, and a little pooled in the metal fitting. I'm curious, how hard is this to fix, and can I short term fix it with electrical tape heavily wrapped around it? https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...08&oe=5EF27E46

First off, I'd suggest you wipe the fluid off and see if it comes back.

If it does, I'd suggest you take it into a auto shop that does AC work and have them take a look it it. Maybe they will just replace the line and re-charge the system.

As far as "fixing" it with electrical tape, even Bubba doesn't think that would hold long.

Definitely. I'll have to wait and see.
