A/C Questions
In my 97, the A/C is leaking. I had it dye tested and the only leak that could be found is on the LOW side of the compressor. Meaning, its just a bad oring? I have read that it is uncommon on the low side because of the low pressure. Anyone else have hidden A/C problems with a 97?
Also can i replace this o-ring myself to see if that fixes it? or will i cause more problems? This is the first car i've had that i'm not just removing the a/c system and i dunno how to fix it lol

I agree it sounds werid to have a leak on the low side. Maybe the o-ring got nicked the last time it was apart? I have never done any a/c work myself and I had it changed over R134 the last time it leaked.

can't say on your car since I've never even seen the outside of a 97, but if it's like my 92, then it's in the right front part of the engine compartment. You can get from Subaru or most any car parts place, I got one from Advance Auto Parts (not sure if that's a national chain or not) and they had it in stock.
