Default I HATE CHOCOLETE MILK!

well my new car started leaking anti-freeze again yesterday. it drove fine for 2 days then it sprung another leak...anyways... so i go to check it out cause i thought it was coming from the lower rad. hose. but that this is on as tight as it can be. so i dont think its coming from there (it could be...but i dont think so)...so i go to take off the cap and to my surprise...i see chocolete milk under the rad. cap again. i think i know where its coming from though, i think its coming from the coolant res. cause theres still like an inch of oil left in it (i cant get the res. out to get it all out) plus my engine isn't loosing any oil and theres no chocolete milk in the oil...

When i bought the car though, the guy told me that he took it to a mechanic and the mechanic said that the oil could be from the A/C. is that even possible? if so, how hard would it be to disconnect the A/C?

The oil is not coming from your A/C, its impossible. More than likely what your seeing is residue from before you fixed it. Since oil is lighter than water, you can take a gallon of water and just overflow the overflow tank until the oil is out ;-) Then I would take the car to a professional and have it pressure-flushed to get everything out. Are you sure your leaking antifreeze and its not coming out of the overflow tank??

Might want to replace the radiator hoses and the clamps just to be safe.. if you blow one of those, you'll spill out all your antifreeze before ya know it! keep us updated

i replaced the bottom one. the upper one doesn't show any leakage or anything...but i might just swap the hose from my green on onto it. and if all else fails...swapping the radiatior.
