Thumbs down 1994 Ford Explorer Radiator/ AC problems
I have a 1994 Explorer. My engine keeps overheating cause I'm loosing coolant. I originally thought that it was my radiator but after closer investigation it looks like the leak could be coming from my AC compressor. Is that possible? Is there a quick fix for it or do I just need to replace the compressor? thanks.

You are not gonna lose coolant from the ac compressor it must just be dripping off or running down it.

The A/C uses freon not Coolant. Like phantom_smack said it is just leaking on it so you need to see where the leak is originating from.

yeah, that's what I thought. That's why I was so confused.
