A/C leak
My mom's got a 92 EB 4x4 and the freon is leaking from the low (i think) pressure side fill valve. I remember the factory cap didn't fit too well, but there is quite a bit of the green dye under the hood. The only solution I know would be to replace the valve pin and recharge the system. My question is if a valve pin from a tire valve will fit, as they look to be the same type of valve.

Try to tighten the valve first. Assuming there is still freon in the system, put a drop or two of soapy water on the valve and look for bubbles. After verifying leak free condition, blow the water/soap away from the valve completely and charge as needed.
I've seen these valves loose in the past and no replacement was needed.
