a leak

[vermilion]

recently i changed my leaking header gaskets and motor mounts. upon driving home i got small pop follow by a blue smoke and bluish green oily fluid on the passenger side fire wall. i heard it dripping. but no visual. i have no overheating fluid lose however i noticed my a/c line rubbing the header and my a/c not doing its thing. im partially knowledgable with cars and not afraid to dig into it. can anyone give inputs on to trouble shoot this? i lived within 5 miles from where i did the work.

Was the smoke out of your exhaust or from under the hood? And your A/C doesnt work now? It kinda sounds like maybe the header melted the A/C line or something and maybe the pressure in it burst the line and is making it leak fluid. Did you check the line for a hole or anything?

well i know the line was directly on the header. and the bracket was rubbing the header. blue smoke that popped slightly came in the cabin. for not even a minute.

Hmmm i would say check the A/C lines cause if it isnt working now the heat from the header could have made the line weak and bust causing the pop and the liquid inside to squirt on the firewall.
