AC compressor control valve leak Just had AC system charged and am now having the lime green oil and bubbling from the compressor control valve. Luckily i haven't driven the car since it was charged and can see exactly where its coming from without the oil having blown all over the place. Does anyone know, can i just replace this valve or does this the compressor is shot?

Someone else may chime in but I dont believe those compressors are serviceable minus the cluch on it. You probably need a new one. I'd also replace the accumulator while the system is open.

It has a snap ring holding it in. Looks like its made to be replaced. Plus i'd rather spend $30 and not hundreds, but we'll see. Just replaced the rest of the system to, compressor is the only original piece in the 70,000 mile ac system.
