'84 300D A/C and Coolant issue

ok...this is not my car, so I can't really give you a lot of information.

When using the AC, after a while there is a coolant leak from the Y pipe mounted on the firewall and feeding the inside of the car.

A/C is not blowing all that cold, but I can't tell if it's cooling at all as it was evening when I was testing.

Here is what I suspect: With a low charge, the AC is freezing up the evaporator core inside. With this freezing up, the coolant is restricted causing back pressure and thus the high pressure leak around the seal.

Anyone think I'm completely nuts, or is this possible.

The problem ONLY occurs when the A/C is used.

The leak is from the bottom side of the Y connector.

Thanks in advance!
