Sweating AC lines are completely normal. Why do you think they put insulation around them in homes and businesses? Sure part of it is to make the pipe more efficient, the other reason is to prevent moisture buildup and dripping or mold to set in...Ever been to a place that had a leak in the false ceiling? Probably an exposed AC line drawing in moisture and dripping down into the ceiling...

Go easy on him fellas. He may not be as car savvy as the rest of us. I did the same thing myself at one point.
We were ALL noobz at one point.

As for the person that went 20k+ miles without an oil change......

so anymore noise after PS pump replacement? I need to make sure if the noise is coming from the hose or pump it self.

I did a little search, looks like most people who replaced pressure hose will for sure get that noise, so it might be the hose's problem.
