Actually, according to Scotty Kilmer, the compressors are designed to leak a small amount. It enables the refrigerant (which has oil in it) to lubricate the seals and prevents seal failure....One told me that the refrigerant evaporates over time which shouldn’t in theory since it’s a closed system.
So, every 5 to 25 years (depending on how much they leak) you need to recharge the a/c system even if no components fail.
