Default A/C Problem

as the weather getting hot now in here .. i re-felled my compressor with freon, it is cooling very well .. but i noticed this morning when i was checking the compressor that there is some oil or maybe freon leaking from the front side of the compressor, not the back where the hoses ..
the leak was from the part in the front ..
any ideas what i should do ? or any thing to fix it with ?
or do i have to get me another compressor from the junkyard ?
thanks

here is my advice last year i spent $125 for a junk yard compressor it took a crap 3 months later looked around and found a reman. for $135 with a 1 yr warranty or you could buy a new one for about $225 since i changed it i havent had any problems this is one part i would stay away from from the junk yards

Wow, Kuwait! Hot-Hot-Hot! You probably don't have access to a junkyard anyway. If you can afford it, I'd use new parts like Jeep Factor said. Many new compressors won't honor the warranty unless you replace the Orifice as well. Good luck and stay cool...

Irs u probably have seen how hot it is in kuwait in the summer i guess !
well we do have a junkyard here .. it brings cherokee parts from japan, i mean the cherokees that wre used in japan, they all r very good and not much used parts .. we take them and they stay alive for quiet a very long time .. so i thought i'd also buy a compressor from those parts .. but it was a bad idea i guess .. although i am sure there r better compressors in there .. but i will get me a new one i guess .. it is here around $300 so am gonna get me one i guess ..
thanks all
