Hi Volks! Ah yes, another a/c question. As the subject says, the 50A(!) a/c relay fuse on my 90 GL blew last week and there was lubricant behind the plastic panel covering the a/c hoses. Before launching into removing the evaporator assembly (and we all know what a bitch that is) to search for a leak, my mechanic decided to replace the fuse and recharge the system first. He says it's working fine and holding the charge. Assuming the two events (blown fuse and oil everywhere) are related, where could the oil be coming from? Or could the oil be evidence of a small long-term leak that I discovered only because I dismantled the panel to look at the blown fuse?
