A/C leak
It looks like the drip pan under my coils has a crack in it. Its a brisk air unit. Can this be replaced or is it time for a new A/C unit?

AC units (with a few exceptions are sealed units. Parts of the system can be replaced but to get it back to working properly it will need a vacuum on the system for several hours (depending on how long its been open), then the proper charge put in.
The OP is talking about the condensate pan.
With roof units, there are no exceptions. They are all hermetically sealed units and they do not have to be vacuumed for hours. If recharge is needed such as after a leak repair, once the service port is sweated into the suction line, they can be pumped down in a few minutes.
