Default AC Compressor Leak
What do you guys do when you confront an AC compressor leak (from a failed seal)?

- New Compressor? If so, does anyone have a spare compressor for a 95?
- Repair the existing compressor? Parts? Any documentation on how to replace the seal?

Perfect. I'll try Jerry's. Thanks. Given that I will also keep my original, is there a manual as to how to rebuild by putting new seals in? It might make an interesting winter project.

I'd be interesting in rebuilding my old compressor also ... anyone know of a seal kit + instructions?
