Default A/C Leak

Hey guys I have a 99 SS that seems to leak out my 134. I was wondering if there was any place on these cars that were notorious to leak in certain spots? I have crawled underneath the car and the pump itself is oily and has green on it indicating the leak. I cant pinpoint it though. Anybody else have this issue?

Thanks

The most likely spot is the compressor crankshaft seal, which is behind the clutch, making it pretty hard to spot. DO NOT RUN the A/C, as on top of being out of refrigerant, you're also now out of oil. The only cure is a new compressor.

Also the case seals on the compressor itself leak as well. commonly called a belly leak. I have seen this on several f-cars.
