Default A/C line question..info please

I have a 95 GC 4.0 I noticed a bit of liquid bubbling out of A/C line from a little pinhole near the crimps. Noticed it first from side going to condenser..then there's also same thing by crimps coming from compressor. Had it charged like four months ago..nothing was said about leaks. Still gets cold vent temps..
Is this normal...what are the holes for? Same thing on both ends....will post a pix
Thanks for all input!

No, it's not normal for there to be bubbles at the crimps. The hoses are bad and you will need to replace them once you start getting warm air out of the vents again.

Thanks bustedback, I figured as much...dang. Thinking about just JB welding the little pinholes and seeing what happens from there..for a quick fix. Still cold air yet, so might just take it as far as I can. Evacuating and getting charged again is a pain, and not cheap these days either.

I doubt any silly-putty fix is going to hold because the high-side pressure is around 400 psi, I believe.
