High side A/C hose.

A/C blows cold? Clean the hose with brakecleaner real well. Check later for if it is oily again.

Makes no sense, AC contains gaz and oil. Any refill station has free diagnostic

There is no leak and the AC is blowing cold in the Texas heat.
I removed/replaced the DS front fender liner (the old one was damaged) and from that vantage point I could see some oil on (coming from) what appears to be a black plastic cover in the engine bay.

So for now I believe this is the source that I need to keep an eye on before I pull anything apart as at this stage it looks like a minor issue.

I appreciate your guys feed back and time spend on this.
I just acquired this car and from a under need inspection on my lift it's the only area that shows a small fluid leak.
