If you are going to continue to use R12, I would replace your old leaky original hoses with a new set of barrier hoses. (or definetly if you use R134) Here's a link to a post of mine about having new hoses made up for a very reasonable price (less than $200). Even when new, the original R12 hoses leaked out freon albeit very slowly. Back then, we didn't give a hoot, as R12 was only $.79 for a 12oz can. The hose supplier I mentioned has an outlet in FLA. You just remove and take your old hoses to them, and they can duplicate them in light weight barrier hoses. After the replacement, the old "freon top up" of years past, should be history!
