A6 A/C Compressor
My A6 A/C compressor is slinging oil on the hood. I know this is a common problem but does anyone know where I should go to get it rebuilt? I hear a ceramic seal may be the best fix.

BE MUCH more concerned about the long term erosion through the fiberglass to eat at the top layer and ruin your paint, that compressor oil will do that.....I remember that one from years ago....what you need to is take the hood off flip it over and soak the oil spots with brake cleaner, then turn right side up, and let it dry in the sun....do this about 2-3 times until you see no trace of oil underneath.....
