A/C Freon leaking out of radiator?
The title says it all. I tried to add Freon to the A/C and it looks as though the freon is being spit out through the front of the radiator. It kind of resembles a dragon. All jokes aside, the freon goes in and then it gets spit right out the front of the radiator. It initially happened a few months ago while driving with the AC on. I noticed white smoke coming from the front of the car. I pulled over to check it out and the car was fine but then noticed the AC started blowing hot. Few months later i decided to add freon to see if that were the problem and thats when i seen the "dragon" spit. Any suggestions? 99 Gs300

thanks AMSMIKE. Makes more sense now. i took it to a mechanic and all he said was to buy a new compressor. He didn't bother looking at the car. That's why i wanted to look for leaks and ask here. I do understand that if i don't know how to fix it then don't. I just wanted to know what could be wrong. Thanks guys.

I suggest you find a more trusted mechanic.
