Default A/C compressor Oil

Do theses GM compressors have an oil leak issue. I have found oil under the compressor , but the compressor is just moist on the underside. There is a wet spot below it. Does the heat dry it off the compressor case. What type of oil PAG ? Appreciate any feedback,Thanks

I haven't heard of any leaking compressor problems. If you had your A/C serviced recently, make sure they put the right oil in, this car requires synthetic oil equivelant to GM #12345923. Also, overfilling the compressor may result in a leak.
