I did get out and have a look at the Montero this morning. I just touched the shrader valve on the drier bottle (High side I think,....there is an H on the valve cap). A blast of freon and oil shot out.

Also noticed that the front of the compressor, just behind the clutch is covered in a reddish brown dust,....thinking this might be ground/powdered friction material from the clutch.

Can anyone tell me where to find a clutch only?
