The dealer told me my condenser on a 2005 lancer ES has a hole on the lower left of it so how do I find it and replace it and will the system have refrigerant in it?

The only way to find a leak in your ac system would be to inject a colorant that aloows the leak to glow with a blacklight. If the hole has been there for awhile orr if you open up the system you will have to recharge the ac system automatically
You cannot fix the hole in your condenser. You will have to replace the condenser/radiator (they are together and cannot be purchased separately). There will be pressure in the system still so you will have to relieve it through the discharge line (High Pressure, marked by an (H) on the cap). Legally you would have to discharge it into an approved container since it damages the atmosphere. Once the pressure is out of the system you can disconnect the lines from the condenser/radiator and put the new condenser/radiator in. It is recommended that you also install a new dryer and add a couple drops of oil to the compressor at the inlet hole in the top of your compressor. Once it's all back together you charge your system. Normally it takes about 32# of pressure on the Low side. That's about 3 12oz cans of R134a. Make sure you read the R134a can because ambient temperature affects the reading of the amount of pressure in the system.
