Default A/C PROBLEM!!!!!!!!

when i turn my a/c on, it smells like a sweet air freshener. theres also a little mist comin out of the vents and some from the blower under the glove compartment.

im thinkin its my evaporator or my condensor but not sure.

anyone knows whats the problem cause i think my ac is just blowing refrigerant straight into the car.

thx

Might wanna have the heater core looked at. Anti-freeze will give off a sweet smell like you are describing.

The evaporator is buried in the dashboard. The condensor lives way up front, by the radiator.

On a humid day, the AC can make some cold mist, that's kinda normal. But check your antifreeze in case that's leaking. If you don't know what it smells like, smell it in the overflow reservoir by the radiator. Then you'll recognize the smell.

The AC doesn't have enough refrigerant to keep pumping it into the cabin. If your evaporator is leaking, that would only last a few minutes then it wouldn't be cold any more.
