sometimes its just a seal or pipe that needs replacing on your aircon which can be reasonably cheap. but other times it can be condensor or evaporator or drier leaking which starts getting expensive to put right. the only way to check is to put gas in system and see where it leaks from. using aircon adds about 10% onto your fuel bill. as does using lots of electrical equipment at once like your heated rear window,blowers,lights at same time.
