Recommend me an A/C compressor

I just replaced my A/C compressor 1 1/2 years ago with a reman from advance auto. Cost was $211. Well it appears it is leaking from the actual case of the compressor. I was thinking about resealing the compressor case but can't really find a reseal kit. So I'm going to replace the compressor but would just like some recommendations on what brand and where to buy. I've read to stay away from the four seasons brand A/C Compressor. Anyone have any recommendations?

try going to a pull-it-yourself junkyard, typically they give a 30 day warranty for it

I checked out one picknpull but they didn't have a compressor for a 99 maxima. What do you think about this rebuilt compressor on ebay?

Comes with a one year warranty. That's the cheapest rebuilt I can find.

I am in need of a/c compressor for my 99 I30 as well. I had seen a lot of people in my search recommend the advanced auto a/c compressor but I don't want to be buy crappy quality parts that i will end up have to replacing again in a short period. Any one have experience with the a/c compressors on rockauto.

Advance auto compressor is the one I purchased 1 1/2 years ago and now it's leaking from the case seal but I can't find any case reseal kit. Works perfect when it is charged but 2 days later it's gone. I purchased that for $211.00. I'm thinking about just getting

and hoping for the best. I heard four seasons brand compressors are not very reliable and this one says it in Arctic Air brand. Haven't heard back from WesCTR yet and it's gonna be 110 degrees here in phoenix on friday

I'm in the Midwest and thinking about just bypassing mine. I like windows down anyway. But I'd also love a recommendation, as mine will have to be replaced soon.
