2006 Toyota Corolla air conditioning leak

Air Conditioning problem
2006 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 66,000 miles

air conditioning freon leaked that appeared to originate near radiator. In fact, the initial leak I thought was the radiator leaking and steaming out the front grill of the car, but in fact it was the freon steaming after spraying out somewhere around the radiator. Where do you suggest that the leak may be coming from?

Hi there,

I would be expecting that the condenser has failed, but there is also 2 pipes so a small dose of leak detector dye in the system will show up the leak very clearly.
