It had no cold air at first. I added one can of R134 w/sealant, system sucked R134 and sealant in, gave colder air for a while, then I heard squeek noise. I stop the car, saw AC belt hesitated, after few minutes, broken.

When checked, I saw one 10AMP AC fuse broken, AC clutch moved but not smoothly, some liquid showed outside clutch, AC compressor bearing stalked. Pressure at LOW valve is high, in red zone.

Base on these facts, if release pressure from system and replace the belt would save the AC? Or I have to replace compressor?
