Both the car and the AC have run MUCH better since I evacuated and replaced the dryer.
No more getting hot in traffic/at stop lights and AC is blowing cooler.
However, and this started before I made the repair-
The bottom of the heater box is getting super cold, almost icy to the touch, and quite a bit of water is dripping off.
This is NOT coming from the gasket between the two halves (which is a terrible design, IMO anyway). You can see the nuts reflected in the condensation.
The gasket is not wet at all (I siliconed it and installed those nuts and bolts to increase the pressure vs the clips when I discovered the gasket was folded and causing a leak).
The drain to the engine compartment is working.
