Problem overview

Some Nissan Maxima owners report experiencing green fluid leaks from the low-pressure AC line, which is likely a sign of refrigerant mixed with UV tracer dye used for leak detection. This leak can indicate refrigerant issues within the AC system, potentially leading to low side pressure problems. Additionally, the presence of dye residue may suggest previous attempts to seal a leak. Some owners also note that green oil dye observed coming from the AC evaporator drain tube could point to a leaking evaporator or expansion valve. It is essential for owners to address this green fluid leak promptly to prevent further damage to the AC system and ensure proper functioning of the vehicle's cooling system. Seeking professional assistance for accurate diagnosis and resolution is highly recommended.
