If the one can gets the compressor going, cool. But it may be short lived depending on the size of the leak. Once the leak has been repaired, it is strongly advised to replace the accumulator/receiver drier (the material inside will absorb moisture from the environment) then have the system vacuum tested and filled to the proper capacity.
great advice....

Unfortunately the seals wear or dry out over time particularly if the A/C isn't used regularly. You need to engage the full A/C at least once a week for 15+ minutes to keep the seals lubed and flexible. As it says on the MCC Smart website 'use it or lose it', good advice.
