oil leak above air conditioning compressor

Recently developed an oil leak, looks like its above the a/c compressor... oil filter is clean and dry, but oil keeps dripping on top of the compressor... Any ideas? Also, does anyone know of a good mechanic in Chandler, Mesa or Gilbert Arizona?

Thanks,

dan

Sounds like the gasket for the timing case has slipped into housing. I have seen that happen a few times. Photo of last one that I had to replace gasket for slipping into housing. Not easy job for someone that hasn't wrenched on diesel engines before. Camshaft has to come out of block to remove the front timing case. Took me 12 hours and I work on diesel trucks for a living.
