    Update:
    I got a UV light, there is green dye on the condenser... the shop didn't check very hard.
    I'm pretty sure I know what do do next... any favorite aftermarket condensers out there?

    Thanks everyone.

    If you are lucky it might just be an O ring leaking at the condenser connections. Put some soapy water on them, and look for bubbles.
