Remove the hose and bring to a hose shop to fabricate a new one. Use the
newer material for the R-134A.

Subject: AC high pressure hose leaks-87 Westy

Greetings,

My 87 westy has a bunch of pinhole leaks just after the compressor
connection in the first 6 inches of the high pressure hose that runs
towards
the front of the van.  any suggestions on stopping the leaks without
replacing the difficult to route $300+ hose?  Route a cheaper hose
routed
conveniently?  Apply molasses type compound & tape?  Continue to sweat
like
a pig?  I've read that soaking a certain sensitive area in a constant
ice
bath works wonders.  Won't work for the wife though.

Mike
