Is my AC compressor the cause of my leak? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After about 250 miles I have a slow leak in my AC system and a great deal of oil slung off the front snout of the reman iron compressor.

I know a certain amount is "normal", but I have a lot after only 200 miles so if it were 20,000 miles and I had 100X, you'd be swimming in it.

What are the odds that the compressor is the cause of my leak? I have new (not reman) aluminum A6 to go on it, and I'm wondering if that's going to cure my leak. Time will tell, but I'd like to know my odds!
