IF it keeps cutting on and off it is probably low on refrigerant, not a bad compressor. You need to take it to a repair facility and have them find out where the leak is and have it repaired, recharged. After that, it will not cycle on and off all of the time and work as it should.
If in fact the compressor itself is shot. There Is No fixing it. You would have to get a new compressor. Basically, that IS your air conditioner. However, if the seal is broke and all you did was lose the anti-freeze…THEN you only need to replace the anti-freeze. To find this out you have two options. Either buy the equipment and orange dye, to put into the system. So that when it leaks…it will leave an orange mark when it leaks. Under a black light. The best thing to do if your not familiar with the system is to take it in to a ma and pa shop and have an estimate done. THEN decide whether your compressor is leaking. Or see if it's just an "O" ring you can replace. An "O" ring is a set of seals.
