Any suggestions on where to find one? When I try to look it up it askes which engine I have:
12-023875 or the 12-023876
I have a 1987 300D. I don't have the VIN handy right now, but it was sold in October of 1986, so it is an early model.

Well, the good news is that your compressor is not seized. It sounds like the compressor seal is leaking. Why can't the shop just replace the seal. This used to be common failures and repairs.
