Hello, I just finished 8 spark plugs. Proud of not removing fenderliner or heat shield. But when removing #8, I might break the AC pipe. There is kind of oil drip from top of AC line(red circle in picture).

Can someone please tell me what it is? I thought the freon is gas and shouldn't be dripping.

Swivels are big help. Well improper using would help to break something else.

Thank you.

Luckily its not a refrigerant line. Based on the quick connect I would guess its a coolant line.

Thank you very much. Yes, it's a heater hose connector. I think it drips at a certain angle. Now it looks no leak anymore.

Don't use any swivels- buy a 1/2" long SK extension. You can find one online. Then just use your plug socket, this tiny extension, and your regular ratchet. It gets you out just far enough to turn the ratchet and you won't hit anything. It makes it easy. You'll be amazed. SK p/n 45159.

I see you have the new model tranny dipstick w/ the padding. I replaced mines last year.
