I recently had some metal and rubber pipes replaced because of a coolant leak.
Everything seemed fine.
Shortly afterwards I noticed there was a small leak again in the same area.
I called out the RAC and I must admit he couldn't have been better.
He reckoned that maybe the heater matrix was probably on its way out and with connecting the new pipes to it was the final straw.
Not to worry was his next comment I can bypass the heater, which he did pretty swiftly.
We agreed that I would fill and bleed the system the next day with long life red.
Viewed Haydn's Youtube videos again and set about the job and quite pleased about the result, but did think that the bottom radiator hose would never get hot.
Went for another drive today and when parked up I noticed a damp patch on the road. On inspection I can see green drips coming off the ac pipe.
I presume this is the ac liquid. So getting to the point - 2 questions please -
1. Can the ac part of the rear matrix be bypassed
2. If I decide not to go ahead with bypassing can I just leave it or is there anything I must do to the ac system like removing ac belt.

Re: Green Drips
Yes some details are in the Factsheets for bypassing/sealing the aircon feed pipes I believe, also a search on here will almost certainly find the details.
