John Dirks Jr Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I found this yellow fluid in the air handler cabinet. Looks like anti freeze. It was also on the gas valve above as if it were dripping from there. Any idea what it is?

Marc Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Looks like dye from the refrigerant system that was injected to help reveal refrigerant leaks. Is the cooling coil above it? If so, you've got a refrig leak...unless it's already been fixed and the AC guy couldn't be bothered to clean up the mess. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Katen Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 It looks exactly like the fluorescent yellow bubble solution that I use to test for gas leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think Jim K has it. We used the stuff that does not freeze or evaporate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Jim & Les got it right. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have to agree with Jim and Les! With a gas line connection right above the area chances are pretty darn good?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
