You can buy R134a at any local hardware store. They will sell it to any adult person without the need of a license. Which mean, you can use it.

It is not good if you keep venting your refrigerant to the atmosphere, but hey your condenser is leaked.
I'm pretty sure all my freon is gone. How much would it cost to take it in for an evac? I'm really grateful for your posts. I hope I can get some help from Subaru corporate before I have to do this myself.
