Having a similar problem right now on a client's house. Chuck Farrell came out and said the best way to go was to add more refrigerant and let the leak get a little larger. Once that happens, they can determine if it is a simple fix the leak, put in a new coil or replace the whole unit. Seemed like a reasonable solution to me. I would much rather do a temporary fix that works than repair/replace the wrong thing.
