Monte Carlo Bob Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I am using my newly acquired time to get the ac working in my 70 did a leak test on it and found the shaft seal was leaking, tried 2 ceramic seals both leaked went to a single one piece double lip seal, used the seal protector that came with the kit . I know all the components are ok it was charged and everything was fine until it leaked out Any help would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid87 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 You would need to remove the gut pack from the case and check the shaft for wear. If there is any wear on the shaft it will likely never seal for long. If the wear is minimal than you may be able to clean it up with some scotchbrite and reassemble. Those compressors are pretty easy to disassemble and the seal kits to reseal the entire compressor are less than $30 shipped (including the double lip seal) but if there is wear on the shaft it will never seal for long. I'd take it apart and check. I ended up buying a Delco remain for around $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
