take it to an AC shop, and have them leak test it, you need a special machine to draw a vacuum on it

When you stuck refrigerant in there...
did you just add, or did you actually test to see if it was low?
Like DJ said, take it to a pro

it needs to be leak tested and then the leak fixed if you want the a/c to work

Then you've got a leak. Needs to be leak tested. They'll dye it
