Hi emilio,

The two most likely places are at the input shaft to the compressor and at the charge valves (high pressure side and low pressure side). The shaft is hard to get to because of the clutch assembly. You might be able to use a brush and sopy water to test the shaft, if you can find enough room.

Hope this helps,
Mack1
