Not rechargeing the AC or not using the AC for long periods will cause the ac compressor to dry up...

solution would be a new AC compressor..

clean up those leaky fluids too, a stuck thermostat will cause over heating... hot air coming from fan and radiator is normal....

I also find that i had to replace radiator about every 120,000 miles... they just go bad after that long..

My 93 civic has 320,000 miles...
all miles made by me. replace radiator 3 times...
