Front passenger side wheel well. You have to remove the plastic panels to get to it. It helps to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right for enough room to access and turn wrenches. If you are replacing the accumulator/drier with OEM part from AutoZone or O'Reilly's, make sure to get the right sized replacement O-rings. The ones that came with the new accumulator were the wrong size and caused me to buy more refrigerant and compressor oil. Take the old O-ring to a store that specializes in O-ring's. The guys at Autozone and O'Reilly's wanted to keep selling me the same wrong o-ring kit. You will need 9oz of compressor oil in addition to 28oz of Refrigerant. I filled the compressor intake hose with oil and that seemed to work fine. I started with a pin-hole leak on the high side hose and ended up replacing the hose set and accumulator.
Check on top of the accumulator/drier at the passenger side firewall
Follow lines from compressor-Larger line is low pressure--port may be at or around the accumulator/drier by passenger firewall
