Ac compressor little hole leak

[inthemidst]

I have a 2g eclipse turbo my ac compressor is leaking out the back it's a small hole looks like its designed that way and all the fluid is oozing out is this because I have too much refrigerant or I need to rebuild it or get another one.

Id say just take it out and roll the windows down ,one less thing to break imo. you could try an release some refrigerant from.the low side around the driver side strut tower but might get to cold and burn your hand , so be careful. if you acually did over fill it

Sounds like the high pressure relief valve is leaking.

You can install a new one, but take the car to an ac shop to do it. The system needs vac'd down, leak tested, and filled with the proper amount of oil, and refrigerant.


A major issue with the cans of refrigerant you get from parts stores, is that most of them have oil in them. Using them to refil refrigerant leaks can lead to to much oil in the system.
