Curls-
Have a question about the condenser advice you gave me a while ago... see below. I'm about to get the TYC part but my mechanic told me to make sure its OE, and not an after market part... otherwise labor would be a lot more. Can I assume this condenser is OE and will fit properly? Thanks.

Condenser is in front of the radiator = first to get hit. It could have been a smallish rock that hit the 'sweet spot' at a weld between the dryer and the condenser, like on my wife's van. Couldn't see the damage but the tech showed me the leaking tracer-dye they used. It was in a very hard-to-see spot but was consistent with a rock hitting a spot that had a weak weld.
Don't bother with the $150 option - go to Rockauto and get the <$100 "TYC" brand one - LIFETIME warranty too! bring it to any indie shop with AC machines and you're golden.
