In the body of the compressor sounds like time for another one. There is stuff out there supposed to seal up any AC leak. I do believe the one with a grantee it is Red Angle ac stop leak you might try that. Also I know there is a pressure relief valve on the rear of the compressor. Here is a link to the 1st page I found with it listed. http://www.autobarn.net/red-angel.html

Ps you might also take your compressor off and take to a welding shop and see if they could weld it up. You might want to teat it apart first!
