Re: AC Compressor Leak

Ok so I verified that the pressure relief plug was tight. I cleaned the compressor and could see new die coming from the plug. I ordered a new pressure relief plug and will switch it out later today.

AC Compressor Leak

Hello all,

I have a 2010 Chevy cobalt and the AC recently went out. I added a can of refrigerant with dye, I noticed a leak coming from the backside of the compressor coming from a nut. Is this repairable or is the compressor junk? Thanks.
