Default A/C compressor leaking?!?!?!?!???

I have a 1990 honda crx with a b16. I decided to put my a/c back in so I put everything back in and the compressor didn't work so bought a new compressor, and installed it and ran the system for about a week and while driving home I heard a loud noise coming out of the engine bay (it sounded like air leaking out of a high pressure system) so I stopped didnt see anything then continued driving and then the a/c started to stop working and got hotter and hotter. I tried putting a new can of R134a in and it just came right out sounded like it was coming out of the compressor so I got a can of leak detector the one thats red dye and put that in and didnt see anything but heard it coming out of the compressor so then I put another can of 134a in and still didnt see the red but I heard it coming out... Is there any gaskets or seals on the compressor that could be leaking I mean it ran great for a week and was at the perfect pressure when I checked it but all of a sudden it stopped any ideas? Dont want to have to replace the compressor again they are expensive

I put the pressure guage on and made sure that it wasn't over filled, it was right at the right spot, but what how would it kill the compressor like what would it do if it was overfilled?
