You might find the leak with a black light and they're cheap but you may have to refill the system first. You can also check for any obvious leaks like a defective hose/pipe, checking the undersides as well. Oil usually comes out with the gas so look for oily deposits on the hoses. You may just need a new hose. Replace the schrader valves on the high and low sides. Screw the old one out, new one in, with the little tool. Kits are available. Replace the o-rings at each connection. Kits are sold for that too. At least you can do this much without refilling the system and all that that entails. If you can fix the leak, try to get it properly evacuated and filled for $100 or thereabouts. Walmart refill kits are really a last resort. There's plenty of info & videos online. Personally, I like Scotty Kilmer. The guy is a trip.
