Re: Can the air conditioning compressor leak?

I had it converted to R134A about 18 months ago.
if the compressor leaks out oil your ac would not work/blow cold anymore because it would ultimately leak out the freon. chances are if the oil is gone it would also seize up. those compressors have a seal at the shaft that wears out.
back to the oil, what color is the oil? does it have the appearance of brake fluid, is it colored in any way?
