Unhappy Did my AC line rupture?

Hey guys,

I was driving around today and when I started sweating I realized my air conditioning was blowing warm airm I poped my hood and noticed there was a small puddle of green liquid on the right side of my plastic undertray (I have a DE) and some under my intake. I've read that aftermarket intakes, (I have an Injen) could eventually make your AC line rupture.

Does this sound like the problem? If so, hows the difficulty on fixing this myself?

Any advice would be great

Same thing happened to me...I have the k&n short ram and the air box put a hole in my line. What I did was cut the line with a pipe cutter bought 2 compression fittings and a union hooked it all up and bent the line lower so the air box wasn't resting on it...pretty easy fix

If I keep my A/C off is it ok to drive on it for a couple of days? Because I'm away at college

Well, I have been told that if you leave your ac system open, that air/moisture will get into the system and you will need to replace the drier.
