Hello,

Were exactly is it leaking from? If leaking from seal were lines connect to back of compressor then yes you can fix it, you will just need to have system evacuated, unless system is already empty.

If leaking from front seal then special tools are need to replace that seal.

You can also call your local shops and ask for an estimate on repairing the leaking seal. Will be a lot cheaper than a compressor.
