A/C compressor repair?

I recently recharged and retrofitted my A/C system, it was bone dry of refrigerant so i wanted to fill it up and see if i could find a leak. A/C worked fine and the compressor sounded good and everything. let the car sit for about a week or so, and i noticed at the top of the compressor where an electrical connector is i found some refrigerant leaking. is there some sort of seal i can replace there to repair that?

There is a refrigerant sealant available that you can add to the system but it's better to just replace the compressor if it's leaking.
