And There Went the A/C

Well, my dad walked in after driving the Benz and notified me that it lost the A/C charge and that he wasn't sponsoring any further A/C repairs. Ho boy, here comes the Texas summer.
At some point I'll put a gauge on the low side while he's not there to check if it actually leaked it. Knowing him, he just observed that it wasn't blowing cold and figured it had leaked.
The trouble is that unless he set the ACC wrong (highly unlikely) the culprit is going to be $200+ (unless it's just a freon leak, but even then, I doubt it would get fixed). I do kinda see his point. After 2 compressors, two freon charges, the oil charges, the flushing, and oh so many trips to O'Reilly's, I suppose it's a lost cause.
Oh well, it ran for about a month, we go on a 2 week vacation, come back, and it's dead.
