I have a camry 1998 model. Recently there seems to be this dark stain around the compressor area and i noticed it stops cooling like before, took it for a check and i was told the compressor seal is leaking oil or something. It wasn't going to be a quick fix because he has some jobs at hand that moment and i couldnt wait. So i opted for gas added to the compressor to serve me till my next visit/schedule for repair

Next day, as usual, the AC was on, but i noticed somethin strange while putting it on, the serpentine belt made this unusual squeaky sound for about 1 second and d vehicle hesitated during movement, then things became normal.

After leaving where i parked again, put on the AC and this time around, it was as if it wanted to stall my engine and the AC button started blinking. I put it off afterwards and now when i try puttin it on, compressor kicks in for about 2 seconds then goes off and the AC button light starts blinking.

Could it be that i have damaged my compressor? Please Gurus, technicians and the experienced. I need your help and enlightenment please

Thanks in anticipation Sirs.

Let the AC technician check compressor and belt for signs of damage. If none, fix the leak, vacuum the system and refill with the specified weight of refrigerant. The blinking light is usually due to low refrigerant or erratic behaviour of the AC magnetic clutch (issues with the belt).

Refilling the AC system that has a large leak was a waste of time and funds.

pls do what the last poster above me said by asking your mechanic to check what he described that you should do.
an a.c. specialist with the right tools is always the best to attend to matters such as these.
now to the fear part. the blinking light indicates that there is a problem with your a.c. system that needs to be checked immediately. most likely your serpentine belt is damaged ,about to cut or isn't as firm as it should be . pls get your serpentine belt checked right away or wait till you do so before you turn on your a.c. again.
