When you charge up your AC, just get some pressure into it and spritz a little soapy water around on the hoses, esp. at the hose connections. if you find a connection bubbling, it could be you just have a dried-out or cracked O-ring. New O-rings are super cheap.

My Forester bled out its refrigerant, new O-ring and 10 minutes, $15, done.

Fifteen bucks because I didn't know exactly which size and the assortment was pretty comprehensive and now I have a bunch of spare O-rings.
