Is my AC compressor fixable?


Recommended Posts

I was in the process of retrofitting r134a in my 86 turbo wagon and when I added the oil, the compressor kicked on then the oil started dripping out from behind the pulley and got flung all over from my belts :-\

 

Has anyone heard of this? Is there a seal I can fix behind the pulley? If this cant be fixed, does anyone have a working spare? Its the square type I believe.

It will be in the 100s here soon after this 90deg "cold" front leaves!

 

thanks,

eric

A/C compressors frequently leak from the front seal. I'm sure you can get a replacment seal for it. Check with an A/C supply store, or a shop that specalizes in automotive A/C...they can probably order the seal for you. If you don't have any luck, let me know all the numbers off of it, and I'll try my guy here in Lincoln...he seems to be able to get just about anything for auto A/C.
