I have a 2006 Pacifica 3.4 and spent some time with the front end up today trying to find where oil was leaking at temps dropped below 25 degrees this week. The car is kept outside and the oil is collecting and dripping from the bottom of the compressor. Now, I notice there are two gaskets in the compressor, but it doesn't look like there is an oil system connection for it- could it be a part above the compressor? I looked around with an endoscope and couldn't see obvious leaks. Any tips on directions to go would be great. It stopped with the temperature went up and then leaked again when the temp dropped to 29. It was a tumultuous week.

 

Is this engine oil you see dripping?

 

I don't know how I'd be able to tell between the A/C PAG oil and engine oil as I've never seen that type of oil before, but it looks like engine oil to me.

 

pag oil if you have dye in it will be green engine oil is brown or black unless brand new them amber. PAG with no dye is clear.

 

Definitely engine oil, then, but I do not see oil anywhere but under the compressor gaskets.

 

then possible oil pan gasket leaking it would not be the compressor itself

 

Ah, I will take another look. Thank you.
