Rear a/c has died.

We do have rear heat but no ac

The ac has stopped working 2 weeks ago in the rear. Is it still safe to drive with this leak? Cause my coolant is reddish pink lol unless the previous owner dyed it when check for leaks.
I thought our rear heat just comes through the center console and the vents up top are AC only ( no coolant involved) But AC refrigerant wouldn't leak a liquid it would vent gas right?
Under my rig all I have back there are AC lines, no coolant.

Please keep us updated, haven't seen this issue before. Side note, be sure to clean that up so no neighborhood pets/wildlife drink it and get sick.
I suppose it must have been an AC line that busted and its loaded with green dye to find a leak. Looks like you found where it's leaking from =] Peek your head up in there and check the AC lines that are hiding up in there and see if you can confirm.

Damn just got home to check it look like refrigerant. Might just do the rear ac delete so it stops leaking.
Good find, suppose it could have been worse, although I do love my rear AC in the summer months out camping. Keeps the cooler and everything so much nicer back there. I wonder how bad it is to fix it all up.
Some info here from a member who capped it under the hood

The rear heater lines that carry coolant run down the driver side to under the center console. The rear a/c lines run down the passenger side to the rear a/c unit (evaporator) in the quarter panel.

That’s a bull**** autozone Dorman splice that somebody installed. They’re $40 and intended to be *temporary* solutions to broken hard lines. The entire line needs to be replaced.

I figured that. So lame I’m just gonna plug it up for now and redo the lines later
As a FYI, there was a thread on replacing/capping the hard lines to the rear.
I had a leak this summer and had an independent shop replace the hard lines to the rear. Cost $840

I still can't see the Dorman spice.
Get it fixed. Dont just cap it. Keep everything functioning... its a LC.
