Default Cracked AC compressor?

Well after 2 days of trying to figure out what was wrong with my AC compressor, I found a crack on the bottom side of it. I bought the compressor on EBAY, and i know the bastard is not gonna refund me, so im going to jsut deal with it. It leaks any freon that i put into the compressor, does anyone know a quick fix for this? ANy comments would be great, Thanx alot. Ryan

only way to fix the compressor is to buy a new one. Sounds like you have a clog in the system somewhere. Was it broken when you got it?

Yes it was cracked when i received the compressor. One thing that bothers me, is that i did'nt put the compressor on right away, i've had it for like 2 months and it just sat in the box. I wonder if Ebay would still consider this case still valid

I just emailed the guy that i bought the compressor on ebay from. This is what he said .

Im sorry I cannot give you your money back, If you would have caught it sooner I might have been able too but I sold you the compressor 2months ago. You really didnt lose anything because to buy a new compressor is like $1000. Im sorry that you didnt catch it sooner but theres nothing I can really do.

I can understand that it has been 2 months. But the compressor is no good, i never took it out of the package once in the time i had it. Is it not fair for this guy to consider refunding me my money ? Please let me know what is fair. Thanx

Yeah my stock compressor on my 94 ex 180k miles blew the whole side of the casing out like someone dropped a grenade in it. So I got a compressor off a 92 which was r12 and had to have one ac line fabricated. works good though got the whole shibang for under 100 bucks.
