Subject:      A/C oil leak
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I have a relatively new A/C Compressor that just developed an oil leak that
seem to be coming out of the clutch and gets thrown by the belt. Is there a
seal behind the clutch and do I have to discharge the system to fix it? Is
it possible for me to fix (everything else on the van has been so far) I
have the ability to vacuum and recharge if I have to.

Anyone else have this happen?
