Leaking AC Refrigerant into the condesation water

[Morphyne]

So I have a V8 and an AC leak. I put dye in it and I found the dye in the ac condensation water dripping from under the car. What am I looking at here in terms of repair?

Unfortunately not good news, you need to replace the evaporator, that means removing the entire dash and components in the dash all the way to the firewall to be able to remove the housing where the evaporator is housed, I would also recommend also replacing the heater core that's in the same housing, it would be bad if you didn't replace it and then it started leaking and you have to do all the same work to again to replace the heater core.

A internet search link on this subject, there's videos on some 4runners and also other Toyotas it almost the same on most all modern vehicles now-a-days.
