The AC system has just started to blow hot again, highlighting I’ve got a relatively small leak. Looking around with some UV light I’ve spotted My top suspect, the bottom left of the condensor (as you look into the grills), however it appears to be venting the yellow dye onto the main radiator, suggesting the dreaded F10 condensor part weakness rather than a rock impact.

My next task was remove the top brace and covers above the radiator and condensor to get a better view of the back side of the condensor.

Has anyone had this issue on their car and any tips / tricks to try / look at?
Not planning on taking a look until Friday so any advanced support would be ace.
i had two months of my warranty left and the condenser blew when it was 36C.
Bm changed it for no charge but wouldn't open up whether it was manuf. fault or stone hit.My guess is that it was too light a construction for weight saving.
