The mech was nice enough to tell to drive it in, I completely befuddled him when I showed him where the engine was.(He thought it was strange,have you ever seen or worked on a Toyota van? You cant even check the oil without 15minutes of preperation)any way he said he could not even drain the system (to vacuum check the lines). We saw compressor oil around the compressor clutch (not a good sign) we did not detect any leaks even with their super-dooper sniffers, but apparently there is constriction in the line or compressor. Anyway "money pit" is only 48k old and I have had her 5 days..I hope this is not the shape of things to come.
