Mine too.
And yes it is the dryer not the condenser (which is the big panel at the front like a 2nd radiator)

Air con gas is under high pressure, so doesn't really leak, it would burst out. Is there oil in the engine? Has it been started since? You could try running the a/c. Does the oil have a smell?

Yeah well it kind of was a sudden burst and there was still oil in the engine but isn't anymore I don't think I'm going to have a look around that are for where the oil has come from failing this I don't know what else could have happened but something is causing there not to be enough oil pressure which is why I can't see it being this but when I had a quick lookthe other day I couldn't see anything else and this suddenly has oil around it? Which it didn't have before....

Would my memory serve me correctly.... this condenser is on the same side of the engine as the crank pulley?...... I would check down by that.... the oil pump is on that end of the crank and has a blanking cap holding the relief spring in place..... would the oils have sprayed out from there and gone on the belts. You would lose oil pressure also. Check round the crank pulley
