Smoke is coming from my hood,but the temperature gauge doesnt move. The mechanic diagnoised the issue as being the air conditioner compressor. My question to you is this possible that a compressor can cause this issue.

Hi Aaron,

First off, how much smoke, can you smell it and what kind of smell is it. Eletrical, coolant or rubber.

Does your A/C work properly? Is there any noises? Squealing or anything.

If a light to medium smoke yes the A/C Compessor can be the cause. Could be the Bearing going bad or a freon leak.
