My was leaking around the shaft, so I took it apart, and got new seals from my local parts store. All of the seals were not for my compressor, but all I needed was the shaft seal. 2 years later I'm still running off the same charge, it's great, I love my a/c I would never get rid of it, my car is black with a dark red interior and black seats, can't get rid of the a/c
