Persistent oil leak

[Matt Suffern]

Marques,

Thanks for the advice.  Could you specify which A/C compressor bolt it is?
I remember fiddling with the compressor, trying to remove the belt just
before the leak arose.  I know there is one long pivot bolt up top, another
short "hold" bolt at the bottom and in front, and the long allen-head bolt
in back.  They're all tight.  Am I missing one?

Best,
Matt
