HIgh Side A/C Line & Fitting
Hello,
I have a 2004 Honda Accord V6 Coupe with 78k miles. All of the sudden the A/C stopped blowing cold air. I took my car to a local mechanic for diagnosis.
The mechanic said the high side A/C line has a leak and has to be replaced and quoted $350 for replacing including parts.
Also the mechanic mentioned there is a power steering fluid leak and the hose has to be replaced. I was quoted $450 for this job. The mechanic showed me the hose under the hood which looked greasy.
I have no basic knowledge about car mechanics and I am not sure if I can trust the findings of the mechanic specially regarding the power steering hose replacement.
The only thing i have ever got done is replace oil/filter, brakes maintenance and brake fluid service. I have never replaced/flush the transmission fluid / induction service. The mechanic also recommended doing this.
I will really appreciate any inputs you guys can provide me.
Thanks,

You can always take it to another place an see what they say.
The trans fluid should be changed (by the book) at 60K. I do not recomend a "flush" for a Honda, rather the simple drain and fill with Honda Trans Fluid.
I wouldn't worry with the other right now.
You are getting close to needing to change the timing belt - by the book, every 7 yrs or 100K miles.
Good luck
