I finally got my a/c fixed. I had a cut in the hose when it came loose and hit the a/c clutch.

I had it serviced and it blows very cold. Here is the problem. I had the car sitting over the weekend and I just noticed a green puddle under the car. Coolant right? NOPE. It was the oil from the A/C. It was about an ounce or so. Interestingly enough, the car still blows ice cold.

If I were leaking oil, wouldn't it drop all the freon also?

Possible thoughts on how this could of happened?

 

update:

Checked all lines and they were tight.

Checked pressure with a single gauge on the low side. It is 30 while running and jumps to 150 + ( highest gauge goes) when off. This is not on the high pressure side. Is this normal?

 

Please try to help me. I am still leaking compressor oil, but it still blows ice cold. There seems to be a bolt in the center of the back of compressor right below the area the hoses go to. Is this anything? It is hard to tell from looking and it and it is very hard to get my huge hands in there!

Is there a drain for the compressor that would allow for oil to be leaking and not part of the freon system? Just shooting in the dark.

I will not turn the AC on again until I get this sorted as I fear burning up the compressor.

Might be the seal behind the clutch assy.... If the oil has a green tint, then you should be able to use a black light to find the leak..

 

Green stuff is what they usually put into the system and wear some special glasses to make sure they dont see any leaks.
