One of the aluminum lines that runs AC refrigerant has a hole in it and leaks refrigerant...I found this out when I went to the garage today after my compressor decided to stop working the other day. They showed me the leak, it's next to the air intake (I have the K&N filter system) which has been rubbing on it for the past 5 years and has eventually rubbed a hole in it
The garage quoted me at 200 bucks to get a the part and put it in, but is there any way for me to "patch" up that part of the hose myself? jb weld maybe? I could be dumb, but if it saves me 200 bucks and I simply can patch it up and refill the system w/ freon then let me know...if not, they quoted me at 100 ish for the part and 100 ish for labor, does that sound fair?
Thanks in advance!
*NOTE I attached a pic of a stock engine and circled the general area I'm talking about if that helps.
