AC R134a leak ??
It has been nearly three years that I have been dealing w/ a small R134a leak in my car. Because it was such a slow leak, the mechanic could not find where the leak was coming from.
Well......I think I finally found the leak. The green stuff was on my garage floor this morning and I traced it back to what apperas to be a vent undernearth the car. Now the questions.....
1. Is that vent being used for draing the condensate ?
2. Has my evaporator gone bad ?
Please advise. Thanks.

Could very well be both!
Yes, the drain is there to remove condensed water. And yes, if you have added green dye to trace a leak and that's where you see, could be the evaporator is leaking.
