I just added freon in my 1997 blazer to find out the compressor is leaking, within two days of recharging, it was completely out of freon. Is there a way to fix or seal the leak and maybe not have to pay 250 dollars for a new compressor?

If you can replace that compressor for $250, you should jump at it. That is a common failure and usually runs over $700 to do the job. Make sure you only use new and not remanufactured or you will be doing it again with additional damage. No, there is no way to seal it.
