now what!!!!!!!!!
Finally got my ac working on my 81 that has been out of service since I bought it around 6 year ago. had to replace the evaporater and drier. man what a job. anyway got it charged up Friday and had 38 degree temp at the vents. was so proud of my work that everything was working great. today I took about a 30 mile run and everything worked great. got home and raised the hood to admire my work. above the compressor on the hood was a wet spot. got to looking at the comp and found bubbles coming out of the crack where the comp comes apart. I have indicated in the picture. I guess it is oil. is this a sure sign the comp. is about to go. ac works fine but I don't think this is good. thanks, nv

There's 2 big O-rings there.
I replaced them in 2 of my Vette's compressors and in a friend's Vette. All 3 of them after everything checked out and was recharged
Special puller necessary, I made one that works better than the one made for the job
Did the front seals, too.
Special tools needed for that as well.
