My 1989 has all original A/C. The compressor has been throwing oil to the underside of the hood for many years. Actually since day 1. Every other year, I install a can of R12 Freon. But it's getting worse now, there is more & more oil coming from the front compressor seal. Do they still sell original compressors ?
I really don't want to covert to the new freon. I love the way R12 works..
My ac system in my ‘89 was a mess until I bought a complete setup from an ‘88 and dropped it in about 10 years ago. The lines were never disconnected and it still had R12. I add a can every few years. Works great. The compressors for these cars are so expensive. I can’t remember who I bought that system from but I’m still grateful as it saved me a couple thousand dollars.
Also, @Tom400CFI has a full setup ready to drop in too if that interests you instead of repairing.
Thanks for pointing that out! OP see link below....
