Someone backed into me about 6 months ago and ran off. I thought my AC condenser (in front of radiator, first thing behind grill, right?), was ok, but time has proven otherwise. It's been leaking oil fairly steady for a little while now.
My question is, should I try and get a used one, or buy a new one? I've checked a couple of websites, and advanced has one for $246, and autozone has one for $170 and another for $200. I also need an accumulator too, so I'm going to buy that from wherever I get the condenser.
Any thoughts as to how I should procede? Another option is to just take it to somone and have them replace the whole thing since I'm going to have to have the AC system discharged/recharged anways, $50 discharge, $50 recharge btw.
And, I guess I shouldn't be running the AC right now huh? The loss of oil might break the compressor?
Thanks
