A leaking or damaged condenser can show up as oily residue on the fins, bent or crushed fins, or weaker cooling from the vents. With the engine off and cool, start by looking at it through the grille. Weak cooling can also come from low refrigerant or other A/C parts, so find the cause before replacing the condenser; a shop can test the system itself.
