   the lines, the condensor and the compressor are the three main parts... i've   
   seen where the condensor has had to be replaced a few times but most of the   
   time it is either a leak in the lines or the compressor... you can try adding   
   coolant fluid (it isn't freon any more) with the leak dye and use a black   
   light to see if there are any leaks... the compressor, if it is bad, is   
   generally the most expensive part...
