You, sir, win the Internet this morning. Excuse me while I go clean coffee from my monitor and keyboard.
To echo what others have already said in this thread, if it's taking 2 years to leak the charge out, the leak is likely too small to effectively locate. No automotive system is 100% leak free, and as they age you develop leaks and weeps at joints, rubber hoses, gaskets, and shaft seals.
Just as a personal example: My Honda has a very slow leak in it somewhere that has never been successfully located. Every year or two it needs a top-off, about 3-4 ounces of refrigerant. Total system charge is 14 ounces on that car, so taking 1-2 years to leak out that small amount means the leak is tiny. The dye may help, but even that's not a guarantee. My car has had dye in it since 2015 and despite gas still leaking, there's no dye trail anywhere that can be seen.
