I went out and poped the hood on my 85 camaro and noticed that from the A/C compressor, the 2 hoses connected to it have a fresh burn spot in them and the hoses in the burn spot look melted. theres no belt or anything that could rub on them that i could see. Im stumped

Im not sure if the AC works i have check for pressure on the system and it is pressurized


Heres the pix of the spots

 

I went out there again and wiped away some of the oily mess and the lines look to be fine but the oil is like thick grease or something???

 

CDS,

Where, exactly, on the hoses is the goo? Is it in line with the accessory belts, so that the belts may be slinging some goo of onto the hoses? Might it be under or near a gasketed joint?

The spot are across from the AC compressor

 

Things like that make me wonder why GM didn't extend the a/c compressor's oil splash shield further, to curve around the side of the compressor.
