[s-cars] a/c compressor leaking oil

[chris chambers]

I don't believe an AC compressor can leak just oil, if it leaks
it leaks freon.

Isn't there an oil sensor behind the AC compressor?
I seem to recall this oil sensor to be prone to cracking and leaking.

I'd suggest taking a second look....of course somone will probably 
point out that I'm wrong on this in some way! :-)
