Oh sorry about that.
I am talking about the air condotioner compressor shaft seal.
Its leaks freon and won't cool, I put some of that stop leak freon in but didn't help.
Is it easyer or cheaper to replace the compressor or fix it?????
Thanks

If you have access to a junk yard, I'd get a replacement.

Which reminds me. If you do go that route, make sure it has new oil in the compressor.<<<<Friendly reminder!

If The Clutch Assembly Is Not Pulled Properly You'll Destroy The Compressor Worse That What You Started With.
But, If Your Feeling Daring - There Is Rebuild Kits Available To Rebuild Most Compressors. Your Better Off Doing A Bench Rebuild - Just Remember To Vaccum Down The System And It Never Hurts To Replace The Drier When You Remove The Refrigerant In The System. R134a Self Contains The Lubricant But There Is Specific Parts To Lube On The Compressors Moving Parts

Hope That Helps
