Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

Looks like the A/C gas and possibly even the oil is leaking from the compressor body.....




Definitely, the coolant leaked/overflowed from the tank in the past.
Another sign that the air was not bled properly in the past.




I don't think I want to re-use this CL slave cyl and the hose. It was covered in heavy rust and even the hose fitting was rusty.
Already the owner wanted me to install the SoS braided CL hose so going to replace the CL master/slave/hose as a set.
My standard procedure and recommendation to replace them as a set.




Already spring loaded bolt/nut disconnected from the front and rear CAT.
About to take the engine out.


Bit cold in the garage these days.....
More to follow later.
