Ack! Sudden AC leak from under the hood V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Csaba on  Sat May 28 23:21 CST 2011 [RELATED]

Today, after I accelerated briskly, I saw 'steam' from under the hood. I assumed a radiator hose had burst, so I started watching the temp gauge and pulled over, but the cooling system was fine. The A/C, however started blowing 60F air, instad of under 40F. So I think there was a sudden/partial freon loss! How weird.
I tried to find the source, it looks wet behind the AC compressor, but not super wet... I will borrow a UV light tomorrow to try and find the leak.

Are there any weak spots on this car's A/C, that I should look for?
Thanks,

Csaba
