Hello everyone,
I was doing the TC case drain and refill kit that I bought from Wild Bill the other day and noticed something unusual under the car. Take a look at this:





What do you guys think?

 

Ac compessor is leaking

 

you might wanna check the oil pan gasket. that is exactly what my a/c pump looked like in october. the only visible oil was on the a/c pump and everything else was dry. now my oil pan is showing signs of leakage with wet oil all over the pan, driping back to exhaust and is still on a/c pump, as well as other places. your pics kinda look like engine oil too... -steve

 

while he does have engine oil on there and yes from oil pan gasket leak, that greenish/yellow
oil is dye in the ac oil to detech leaks. I really wouldnt worry unless it becomes worse than that. thats not much

 

well should I worry about engine oil being on there? What should I do about that?

 

I would get a can of brake clean and clean everything real well and see how much and fast it comes back and go from there. You know Jags used to be the best cars at finding oil and water from the ground years ago. All you had to do was park your Jaguar and overnight if there was oil/water to be found in the ground it would appear underneath the car

 

BRUTAL's right, all Jaguars mark their territory. Clean everything and see what happens.

 

dont forget about good old gravity.... drips go down in general. so finding the lowest point of the leak is fairly useless... you need to find the highest place that is wet.

 

My A/C compressor looks same and I'm pretty sure that oil comes from compressor. Do anyone know, is it a big job to change compressor's shaft o-ring or sealing? Not DIY thou I think.
