replace the hose? Find the leak and fix it. Don't forget to add some OIL. I beleive that it the number 1 reason compressors go bad.

I just told u how to fix it U will need to replace the evaporator inside the dash. Do see green dye comming from a black tube on the passanger side near the power steering pump and it is mixed with the water that comes out if yes then u have a leaking evap no way around it, patch no short cut,big job. What u hear is the system being low and moving around what is still in the lines and evaporator.Expect to pay around 800 to 1400 for this job.
