Dude I don't know why exactly everyone on this forum is asking these VE aircon problems when I have posted the answer a few times.... but anyway....

There was a recall very recently... and my June 09 SSV Wagon got one... even tough I have had no dramas... but the story is they used Mineral Oil in the aircon units for a few months there and it is eating thru the seals... they took my car back in and replaced all aircon seals and put the correct oil in.

No dramas with me... just didnt break down on me... and they said it WILL eventually do so. It sounds like yours has already eaten thru those seals. Although I thought the aircon unit in under the bonnet?

Hey chillicatqld i totally understand what u mean when every1 is writing about it but mine was not under recall mine apparently is not affected thats why its amazed me and just wanted to no if there may be fluid (any type) around there and the air con condenser the cooling part that gets cold would be near where my leak is its a separate unit other then the 1 near ur radiator.

Hi Eddie. Not sure why you can't post pics because you easily have sufficient posts........ Here's the pic you emailed me - certainly looks like something is leaking where it shouldn't!!

Update on the leak my mate took my car to Holden it was the heater hose that had a leak in it all fixed mechanic said to him not another 1 so prob a good idea that everyone has a look just in case. Wonky on the above thread posted the pic 4 me so u can see.
Cheers Happy New Year
