Hi All, to cut a long story short, 99 mini F/L 2.5CDX I put a new engine in 18months ago all ok, recharged air con all ok till last week.
Lost all its gas, had chap out today to recharge and there is green stuff over the pump and I can hear a leak around the compressor pump area like a bicycle tyre tube leaking.

Now I think it is either compressor pump or pipes or O rings on the connector block, I wiggled the pipes as much as I could and no change in the noise, so I don't think it is the pipes or O rings. That leaves me thinking it is the compressor pump itself. Has anyone had anything similar or can suggest any other possibility ?

Thanks

Mike

P.S. I ask as changing the compressor is a bit fiddly, have done one before but if it possibly something else would like to no. Fore warned is fore armed as they say.
