Default Struts and A/C Compressor issues?

Hi All,

I took my car for a oil change today and the tech called me to take a look under it while it was in the lift.
Seems that I have two problems now:
1 - My Steeda struts are leaking oil on both sides. First question is if the struts are repairable? I guess not... If not, where can I get a decent set on a budget?
2 - Seems that my A/C "condenser" is leaking oil. I think he means the A/C compressor. It is located on the passenger side in the lower part of the engine and the belt runs it. If that's the case, what would cost me to fix it? Will I have to replace it or is it only a matter or replacing a seal or something like that? BTW the A/C is working fine, cooling as a MTF... LOL

Man, when it rains, it pours...

You will have to replace the struts for sure no repairing them as for the oil leak I would need to see it to give you a real answer because some of those techs don't know what the fuck they are doing.
