I want to start off by saying I am by no means a competent mechanic of any sorts. Just a guys trying to save some money and learn a few things along the way.

There is coolant leaking out of the connection between my ac accumulator and the tube runs out of view in my picture. I'm fairly certain that it is coolant because I replaced the accumulator and all the o rings and re-pressurized my ac system and I'm still loosing coolant. It seems to be leaking once the engine is hot but never overheats as i have been pumping coolant into the reservoir pretty consistently. I have had many people tell me that it is impossible for my ac system to have coolant in it because they are two separate systems but this is the only spot I can find that is leaking.

Any advice is much appreciated.

 

Those people are correct, The A/C system runs completely independent to the vehicle cooling system. First places to look are in the oil pan(check you oil) see if its milky. Next, check the transmission fluid level and see if you may be loosing some from where the trans fluid is cooled in the radiator. Last step is to smell your exhaust for a sweet smell, that would be burning coolant through combustion. If none of that, it may be a leak outside of the engine (timing cover gasket) try parking the truck on a sheet of clean cardboard and take note of what drips from where.

 

I checked all my fluids and they are clear and seem to be free of coolant. I know it sounds crazy but the only spot i can find it leaking is from where the ac accumulator meets that hose.

 

From information provided it's most likely a pinhole leak in a coolant hose

After engine is warmed up, so cooling system has pressure inside, like after you get home from work, shut off the engine and open the hood
Move your hand around where the leak shows up(on AC hose) you should feel the stream of coolant hitting your hand, its invisible to the naked eye, but you should feel it on your hand
Then you can trace it back to the hose with the pinhole

 

Smart man. It was indeed a pinhole that was spraying coolant onto the ac hose in a very inconspicuous way.

Thanks for all the help.

 

Good work, chased my tail a few times with pinhole leaks over the years
