A/C Line

I have noticed what looks like green oil running down the a/c line on the passenger side of the truck. I am taking that as that there is a hole in the line and it needs repaired but does this mean that I am going to have to replace the compressor, condenser, and the accumulator?

Also, between 20 and 25 mph the truck has a vibration that is mainly noticeable when slowing down. Could this be the torque converter lock up problem? I have had that issue in a different truck but it had the vibration at higher speeds in overdrive.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

the accumulator has two lines attached to it. the compressor and condenser are two separate items. you need to find which line has the hole in it. replace that part, purge the line, and have it re-pressurized.

You sure it's not a coolant leak that just happens to be running down that line?
