960 leaky compressor

posted by  someone claiming to be JayDee24ca on  Wed Apr 18 15:11 CST 2012 [RELATED]

I was under the car installing a new T belt etc last weeked when I noticed that the back of the AC compressor was leaking oil. I tried to ee if might be coming from elsewhere above it, but it appears to be from the compressor itself.
Is this something that simply might require new orings and oil, or does it entail a greater degree of repair or replacement?
Thanks!
JD

    The compressors are slightly different in the 960 than the FWD/AWD cars. Regardless, oil coming from the sealed motor area is not a good thing. Sounds like the bearings are worn and allowing the oil to leak.

    This thread is not exactly your problem, but will show some of the work needed to repl the compressor:
