New Short Block; New Leaks

So I'm writing this on a 94 degree day (F) from the cabin of my '14 BRZ Limited. My boss and coworkers are late for work and I'm early. Florida moment.

I installed a cold air intake recently because my dad broke the stock intake box when he was helping me change my clutch back in June. Somehow the intake ended up being more inclined to slurping water from puddles than the stock box. Engine threw some rods, but like a good neighbor, State Farm hooked me up with a brand new short block and labor.

About 3 weeks of driving around the car it feels great, but on Friday, two days ago as of writing this post, my AC blows exclusively hot air and I have a coolant leak on top of my AC compressor. Huh? Do I call the dealership and shrewdly negotiate they find the problem? Compressor gets power, clutch engages, fuses are good, so I'm 98% certain there's a freon leak. Plus a coolant leak. I'm half posting this to get roasted since I feel defeated after this now one-year ownership cycle of things breaking. Half of them are probably my fault though lol.



Thanks for reading, I really love these forums BTW.
