      MH>I also used the UV light to try and find the A/C leak and I might have locat       MH>it. I did see one connection that had a good deal of "glow" around a fittin       MH>It is located off the compressor / hose that runs to near the radiator. The       MH>is a fitting that couples that A/C line to another A/C line that runs somewh       MH>near the radiator. There is stuff and a glow around where they meet. So fa       MH>that was all I could find.              Since it is a very slow leak it could be those fittings. If they are       flare fittings just tightening them might help.              MH>I did notice my driver's side CV axle is starting to throw some grease on th       MH>inner boot. That axle has been replaced before, too. Must have been a bad       MH>part.              MH>Not sure if I want to try to replace that CV axle myself or take it somewher       MH>I will buy the part either way. I know I can remove it from the wheel beari       MH>side, but not sure how to do the side that goes in the transmission. That       MH>makes me a bit nervous.              Some Tranny side CV joints are bolted and others have a oin that needs       to be driven out with a punch.       you can consider jsut replacing the Boot if it is the outer boot that is       bad. I have done that on a VW Dasher/Audi Fox without touching the       inner joint.              ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Since 1991 And Were Still Here!
