[C320-list] AC leaking

[hcreech at comcast.net]

Just a wild though, but when my AC condenser developed a freon leak and was slowly loosing freon, I had more condensation in the bilge than was normal.  Maybe you should have a technician check it out.  I had to replace the forward condenser.   
Before  anyone on the list jumps on me, as they have the tendency.  I know it is not freon, but the latest product which I can't think of,  but you will get the point.

The captain noticed that the bilge pump is running way more than usual when 
the AC is on.  It is a new problem.

Hi Peggy, 

So why do you think it isn't the condensation if it is routed to the bilge.

Condensation is routed to the bilge near the intake for engine and AC. 
Discharge hose is not leaking.  Intake for AC only.

Where  do you have your condensation routed to? Is your intake dedicated to 
the a/c only. Have you checked the discharge hose going over board.
