I have the exact same issue with my 86. I recently had the R-12 refilled from our local mechanic and I asked him about the oil on the decklid. For what it is worth, he showed me a sort of wick at the top of the compressor that he says always will lose a little oil as long as the AC is on. Something about pulling oil to keep the compressor lubricated. Made sense but seems like a lousy design. Kind of tired of cleaning the oil off the deck lid every week or so. From these posts makes me wonder if that is indeed the case. Anyone else heard that theory?
