light oil spray in engine compartment part two.

I wrote about this problem the other day about fine oil finding it's way to my fan and also on the right side of the engine near the AC compressor. Well today in the bright sun I finally found the source of the spray....the compressor! It is leaking right at the pulley on the compressor just aft of the AC belt. And it leaks with AC on or not. AC works BTW. I am not an AC expert but could someone please tell me if there is a seal in the unit that I could replace to stop the leak? It is not a gushing leak, but I can see the spray after each time I drive it. Thank you, Nick

Yes, the compressor shaft seal. Can be replaced. Recycle the refrigerant first.
