I assume the temperature fluctuating isn't normal, but don't think there's a leak since it still gets cold
any ideas?
hopefully the compressor isn't going out

If you A/C is kicking on and off, and it has been doing this for a while, I do not think that your compressor is going out. Granted, this could be a number of issues. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check your in cabin "thermistor" (read temp. sensor) which is a tiny black "vent" looking doohicky, just to the lower right of your steering column. It can get clogged with dust and crap. If it has gone bad, it's only a $25.00 part. It is part# 88625C in this diagram:
Good luck!
