Default F-Body Condenser Leak, how to fix?

My brother has a leak at the connection where the A/C pipe mates with the condenser on the passenger side of the car right next to the coolant fill cap (it's the peanut shaped attachment). It's leaking out of the hole that the pipe enters the peanut shaped mount to the condenser. If you push on the pipe it'll seal off the leak for a bit but then it'll eventually start leaking again. Any idea as to how to fix this?

They can be fixed... look for a radiator shop. If it's just the tube.. It might can be welded.

FYI.. they're not cheap! I happen to have an extra one ... <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

If it is the one with a 10mm bolt holding it together take it apart and change the o ring.make sure there is no charge left in it.if the line or condenser is cracked there is no fixin it must be replaced <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
