Default weird ac problem

I have a weird problem with my ac.

ok when i turn on my car and its hot outside or the car has been running for a while and i turn it back on it releases some freon or oil from the freon at a pretty high pressure.

it does it even though the ac isnt on and you can hear it and sometimes you can even see it coming from near the front passengers tire.

yesterday when i opened up the hood to see where it was coming from exactly it seems like its coming from the compressor.

has anyone ever had this problem before or something similar?

what should i check or what can i check.

Sounds like it might be the condenser fixin to go bad. If that happens it'll be a PIA to replace it cuz u gotta take off the whole dashboard to get to it. Good luck and hope its not that! I don't really think there's a way to check that.
