Hello everyone and thanks for such a helpful site. I have a 2006 Envoy with 75k miles on her. I just replaced my A/C coils and yesterday during the 93°heat of florida I started it up and let it idle with the A/C on for about 5 minutes and then all of a sudden steam hissed out from the bottom left side of the engine it had a smell like coolant yet the steam was white. About a week ago I added some coolant to the overflow. Could I have put in too much coolant? Or do I have hose leak? Or is this from the newly installed A/C coils? Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome. If the AC got warm after that and the stuff comming out of the left side was not water then you developed a 134A leak. It is not always good to let it idle for a long time when hot. You can develop high pressure because there is a small amount of air going over the condenser coils. If you do not know how to work on AC systems you might want to take it to your favorate mechanic.

You may have the same problem I have. Check out this thread and see if it is. http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=59242

I also live in Florida and know what the heat can do to it.
