I'm in a similar boat.
She's blowing hot air. I dropped her off at a A/C shop for a leak test and here's the result:
-one of the hose is leaking
-condenser is leaking on one side
-the body seal on the air compressor is leaking
Total cost for diagnose: $78 (one hour shop time)
Took the leaky hose off and took it to the shop for replacement/rebuild- $42
Now, I'm in the process of looking for an air compressor and a condenser. Found couple of leads from this site. Brand new compressor is $580 from Subaru parts, and a reman unit is about $200
Hopefully I can source an air comp and a condenser this week! My plan is to stick with R12 since it costs about $63/lb vs $40/lb for R134a.
