A/C / antifreeze leak in 97 silverado?

I went outside one day and there was fluid on my driveway. I looked under the hood and there was antifreeze coming from the A/C compressor!!!! And I then tried my A/C It did not work. The truck is not over heating. I have no clue how antifreeze would even get close to the a/c compressor. I changed the head gaskets about 2 years ago.A/C / antifreeze leak in 97 silverado?The leak you are seeing is fre-on, not coolant. The greenish fluid is a/c compressor oil with leak detection dye. The compressor would need to be replaced and then recharged most likely.
