2002 Chevy Venture A/C SYS LEAK

Refrigerant Type: R134
Ambient Temp: 75

Hi,
I am working on a 2002 Chevy Venture that has lost all the refrigerant. It will not hold a vacuum and with pressure on the system I can hear a leak down near the compressor. I know that GM's have a issue with the shaft seal going bad. I am wondering if someone can tell me which compressor is installed in this van and if I can replace the shaft seal and of course if anyone knows it, what is the part number I need to order from this website.

Thanks
Justin

I'll have to check on the shaft seal. You have the tools to do the job, aka pulley and hub puller. R & R seal tools?

'01-'02 U-vans are notorious for condenser leaks- at lower right hand corner- (near compressor) my money is that theat is where your leak is -if condenser has never been changed



-------------------------
The number one A/C diagnostic tool there is- is to know how much refrigerant is in the system- this can only be done by recovering and weighing the refrigerant!!
Just a thought.... 65% of A/C failures in my 3200 car diagnostic database (GM vehicles) are due to loss of refrigerant due to a leak......
