A quick search brought up several A/C threads, but I never found this issue specifically.
A/C finally started blowing warm last summer. I had to ad 7oz of Freon right before the Vegas rally to bring up to spec and decided to throw in some dye while I was at it.
Today I started servicing the car for the season and found a nice little green puddle on the belly pan diaper under the compressor.
Dye around the body of the compressor tells the story.
I decided to check the bolts holding the case together and got about 1/2 turn out of each bolt. Probably didn't seal it back up, but I'm hoping it slowed it down a little.
