Air broke need help to find part.

alright this sounds crazy but I need to know what the thing is called that is for the ac. it's the radiator looking thing on the front of the car. well it got a drill bit put through it and now the freeon leaked out. So now I need to hunt down a new one asap. so does anyone know where i can get one?

My brother was trying to put a CF hood on his WRX and he drilled into it when he was drilling hood pin holes.and all the freeon leaked out. so now I am trying to help him find a new one.

thanks

not for nothing but... the radiator like thing in the front that leaked freeon might actually be the radiator itself and it might have leaked anti-freeze. What did the leak look or smell like?
BTW, I'm not a mechanic, I'm just guessing.

It's called the AC condenser, and it wasn't Freon it was 134A they haven't made Freon in years.

The condenser is in front of the radiator. You can drive around w/ out it but I wouldn't try to use the AC or Defrost.

Next time put a stop on the bit. If you don't have a stop just wind a lot of tape around the bit. Better yet, keep himaway from power tools
