Thanks for the explanation. I won't feel like I'm using up the
refrigerant now when I run the A/C. :) I don't want to be forced to
replace this A/C b/c it works so good (and of course the expense). But I
was thinking the more I use it the sooner the freon (or whatever they
use in these old ones) will be gone. But if it is only dependent on
leaks then it makes no never mind! :)
