probably is o rings , or might have a hole in condensor on front.
o rings do dry out and leak if not used , air con should be used regularly to keep oil in refrigerant circulating.
i put mine on for 5 everytime i drive .
i do have uv dye if you are local to wakefield pop over and i will add some to system before you get it regassed.
sold all rest of my equipment otherwise would have done pressure test and regass for you.

No need to take bumper off for air con rad replacement, £120 from my local rad specialists and an hour and a half to replace it, just take coolant rad brackets off and the condenser lifts out between it and front of car
