Compressor leaking oil!?

Compressor leaking oil!?
There seems to be a clear/yellow tinted substance dripping off the back and front of the a/c compressor. When wiped off w/ a paper towel it appears to be a similiar color to brand new/clean engine oil, slightly yellow. It is definitly oily you can feel it between your fingers.
I dont see a way engine oil could get over there. Could it be coolant?

Probably A/C system oil, the front seal on the A/C compressor is (apparently) prone to springing a leak. Mine started doing that and had to be replaced, leaked all the refridgerant out as well as yours is most likely doing too.

Re: Compressor leaking oil!?
well how bad does it seem? I believe you can get a pressure test to make sure that's where its coming from. possible just to be a bad seal as well. if you are really lucky maybe it will last till end of summer and you won't have to get it done until next year...trust me, I have been there with ya and it isn't fun to go without it during summer and with this heat....it sucks. and honestly...it probably won't exactly be cheap if it is a bad compressor with parts, labor, and then to recharge the system.
