compressor ???s

I got new orings on the main compressor lines and new valve cores, and had the system evac. and charged, but went to tighted the ac belt and noticed a leak on the compressor, there where 2 wires connected to it, and there was a retaining clip holding it in. What do I need to do to fix this leak?

Re: compressor ???s

Well I looked at it closer and it is leaking around there and the edges of the compressor, I looked in the parts book and it shows an o ring on the high pressure cutoff and o rings inside the compressor, can I take it apart and replace all the o rings and any other seals, or should i look for a new or rebuilt one?

I kinda had the same thing. Mine was shot. I went with a remanufactured R4 for just over 200 bucks.
