I had my a/c compressor, belt, harmonic balancer, and tensioner replaced about a month ago. After these things were replaced the a/c worked perfect for a few days then it stopped blowing cold air. I noticed that the a/c condenser had some liquid on the front of it and I realized it was Freon. Does this mean I have a crack in my a/c condenser and need to replace it? Any suggestions on what to do?

If you're sure that it's freon then, yes, the condesor will have to be replaced along with the dryer.

Freon is the brand Name for R12. Our trucks use R134a, Fluid on the condenser would not be R134a it would actually be the Lubricating oil in the System, you would need a new condessor.
