Not Keith, but my compressor had the same problem. Do you see a streak of oily substance on the coolant hose that passes by the compressor pulley, slung off the pulley? Mine eventually dumped all the refrigerant/oil mix, but still turned fine. I couldn't find a local shop to replace just the seal, so I looked into replacing the front seal myself. It is quite complicated, and a couple of special tools are needed, that's if you can even find the proper seal. Not your first time "try it and see" sort of job. Especially if you take into account what they charge for evacuating and recharging your AC system these days. You want it right the first time.
I ended up buying a new compressor, but that's a whole other story.
