Need some home A/C help/advice/thoughts

SO at about 8 pm last evening, on one of the hottest days of the year, my A/C at home stops working.

Outside compressor runs and shuts down......the condensor fan runs but very very slowly....like 1-2 revs per sec....

I replaced the capacitor 4 years ago (same scenario -- hottest day of the year ...LOL) ....but at that time neither than fan nor compressor would kick on.

My guess, thru internet searches, is its either the fan leg of the capacitor (mine is a dual start cap) or its the fan motor itself.

I ohm tested the 3 wires coming from the motor (brown, red, black)......none of them are shorted to the case, and when I connect brown to red and then brown to black I get two numbers, one ion the 150s or so and one half that. Red to black gets me 75.

I ohm tested the capacitor from the C terminal to the HERM terminal and then C to the other one and both show a steady buildup in reading til it infinities out, like it is supposed to.

When I pulled the brown wire off the capacitor I did notice a very small amount of oil on the wire where it contacted the case, but nothing of notable amount on the cap itself.

I am stuck at work right now but have the parts with me (fan and cap)...

Any thoughts? I plan on relplacing both, IF the shop I have to go to has the parts....they tell me "95% likely we will have a way to set you up".

Not many other choices and it seems that no one sells to individuals anymore....dammit.

It was 87 in my house when I left this morning...supposed to be 98 outside today ....so I know it will be a sweltering inferno when I get home.....

Anyone have any thoughts they can share? Headed to the shop at around 12:30 or 1 (cant get there any sooner)...I am worried they wont have what I need and there goes my chances to get it fixed until mid-next week.......


ARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance for any thoughts...
