Does anyone know what this is?

Its leaking a yellow oily fluid into the Center Glove Box/ Cool Box

Seems to be coming from a hole behind the cooling vent

I dont know how long this has been happening

That looks like freon.

Freon (actually 134a) is colorless/odorless, but has oil added, but that yellow color looks like leak detection dye. It will probably glow very brightly if hit with a leak detector light.

Relatively sure you have a leak behind there, and that's not gonna be fun or easy to fix.

I think you may have an ac leak I would get that checked out asap it's not healthy to breathe that stuff in.

PAG oil for the refrigerant in the A/C system.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Or what causes it to leak?

 

[LCStve]

Is the refrigerant for the cooler box and the actual A/c system separate?
Or is it one whole system?

Because my main A/c front and rear seems to work normally.

PAG oil for the refrigerant in the A/C system

Might be from a previous service/parts replacement.

If you have a decent charge and the A/C works, I’d not worry about it.

Agreed.
Clean it up really well and use a cheap UV light to make sure you get it all cleaned up. Use your UV light to check for leaks periodically.
