R22 Freon can still be used to to recharge existing AC unit but only from recovered R22 which will be expensive to purchase from aftermarket sources. R22 is longer manufactured. I guess you'll have to amke a decision whether to fix or replace. If your AC is leaking from old age, it's likely to develop more leaks after your repair and the cost of R22 is increasing dramticly.
