    Few issues please help

    I'll make this as quick as I can. Dropping the car off next week to get looked at after 7+ hours working on it this week...

    Ac- new blower motor and resistor installed by me now air is blowing but not cold. Tried ac pro but it goes straight to red which means see a technition... most forums said it's probably the compressor. Thoughts? Air is blowing but not cold. Cant add ac pro

    Possible oil leak...(getting this checked)

    Just now after a 25 mile drive with no issue I parked at walgreens... went inside for 2 min came out and started my car with the ac on full blast (still testing it while I drive) and smoke (odorless and gray) filled my cabin through the vents...also came out from under the hood a bit. Had to open my windows and roll down my windows to get it out of the cabin...drove it another 2 min to my friends with no problem and now its parked and turned off. Any clue as to what doing? I did overfill my break fluid on accident earlier today before driving it but used a bunch of paper towels to soak up as much as I could of of the filter till it was semi normal...still over the max line. Doubt this would cause anything. But worth noting

    Please help. Thanks

    I would guess you blew the AC seals,
    and the smoke was the Freon gas escaping.
    Overexposure can be dangerous.

    Find a reputable AC professional.

    This is a perfect example of why AC repairs that deal with the refrigerant charge should be left to the pros.

    Turned out to be a leak in my evaporator...not a fun fix...10+ hours. Looks like I'm driving around Florida in 100+ degrees with no ac
