I recently inherited this car. It has less than 41,000 miles as of today. Had an LOF and a safety inspection done after driving the car from CA back to ID.
The Goodyear technician found the A/C compressor was leaking. He showed me the “green” substance that he found on the compressor and underneath the car. Is the compressor an item “easily” replaced in the driveway? I am disabled and have access to vehicle ramps, jack-stands, jack, and a variety of tools, including a Harbor Freight vacuum pump and gauge set, (fixed my truck’s A/C with these). All estimates have been in the $1100 – $1600 range.
The weather is warming up and I do want to use this car, instead of my truck, for commuting to classes. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

Not sure of the particular location of your compressor but most likely its on
the bottom. you will need to have the refrigerant recovered before removing
the compressor.
