Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First, how do you know it is a refrigerant leak? If it is, it is coming from the AC heat exchanger inside the heater box.

I think it is refrigerant oil actually...by the smell, look and feel I am quite sure it is refrigerant.....is there some other fluid that would be able to exit from that drain?

If your evaporator is leaking you are facing a big project. You can verify that by adding die to the refrigerant, and light the puddle under the car with a UV flslight. Anyway, this is the fix. http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/37246-c-evaporator-replacement-c-foam-flakes.html
