Add a "UV DYE" & have someone with a black light see where the leak is. If you want to replace the whole A/C it should be about 12 hours labor & maybe $1500+ in parts.

Find then fix the leak. A UV dye is a quick and effective way of finding the leak.

I would not advise the use of the 'fix in a bottle' type products. That stuff can clog up the system making for a much more expensive repair later on down the road.
