well, i wouldnt say common, but it has occured enough for other forums to post topics about it. apparently the compressor housing (forgive my ignorance of the actual part name) implodes and leaves that gaping hole, thus contaminating the entire a/c system. ive read some posts at A/c Failure Costing $4000 - AcuraZine Community. you can get some more info there.
