I did some checking a couple of months ago when I suspected my Compressor might be leaking and found several sources for remanufactured compressors at reasonable prices.
Regardless of what you do, you'll need to evacuate the system, vacuum pump, add pag oil, refill with refrigerant. My feeling is you'll be much better off if you replace the compressor. The link I've attached shows rebuilt Denso compressors at $295 -which includes shipping. You will also need to replace the receiver dryer ($65), and it's stronly recommended that you change out the expansion valve while you're at it ($65).
All in all, if you can purchase the parts with a 12 month warranty for $425 + pag oil and R134a, you'll be light years ahead and have the system properly overhauled.
