AC question

Alright so i took out my AC compressor to fit in my FMIC....after that was all done, i barely drove the car because a seal was blown. so i got a new engine put in, and when i got home, i noticed the next morning i was leaking oil. this has been happening for the past month or so, everytime i stop and let the car sit for a bit it leaks oil. sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, sometimes none. its becoming a pain in the *** to have to keep putting oil in it. I noticed when i unhooked the lines from the AC compressor, some liquid starting pouring out of the line, looked like oil. so my question is, could the oil be coming out of the line. Would this be only when i turn my AC on?

The AC system has oil in it to lubricate the compressor. To make sure you have your terminology right, the compressor is the thing under the power steering pump that's belt driven. The radiator part in the front of the car for the AC is the condensor. What did you remove to install the front mount? Did you reinstall it? Is your AC charged back up with freon?

There is a small amount of oil in the a/c system. It should completely leak out fairly quickly, as in a day or two. But, there are only like 4 ounces or so in the entire system.

I am with Dale, did you disconnect the condenser or the compressor?
