Subject:      AC compressor diagonsis?
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Hello-
        Does anyone know how to diagonsis the difference between an AC
compressor that is dead and an AC compressor that needs new seals (as
you might guess, I don't really know where all the "replacable" seals are
located in the AC compressor). My compressor sat for a long time with being
run (due to not getting to diagonsis the reason why it would not come on
for about a year) and seems to be seeping a reddish oil (almost looks like ATF)
from the clutch area very very slowly... Can anyone tell me if there is a
replaceable seal somewhere between that clutch?
