Mechanical Advice AC Compressor Leaking?

Post image

2017 GX460 with about 110k miles. I was doing its yearly oil change (don’t drive much anymore) and while inspecting the nooks and crannies I noticed a bunch of sludge at the bottom of the AC compressor. It was leaking 2 years ago so I had it replaced, but embarrassingly, I didn’t look to see if they had cleaned up the leakage. Looking at it now, is it likely that’s old oil or is this compressor leaking as well?

Any advice would be great!

AC works perfectly. Zero issues of any kind

Its looks fine from the picture it would be oily around the front seal of the compressor or the hose connections and im not seeing any of that

Good looks. I’ll try and wipe things down as best I can and see if anything comes back by next oil change
