Yes, it can.
If it's not blowing cold air, you can purchase a recharging kit at autozone.

NO..you have to have a leak for the freon to be low in the system. That is not the only reason that the a/c will not work correctly. There are several switches and relays involved in most systems that will effect a/c operation also. If you have automatic temperature control there are even more parts. Freon is colorless , odorless and tasteless. If you have to keep adding freon then there IS a leak. Some leaks can be difficult to find.That's why a dye is added to the freon to make the leak easier to find with a black light.

Yes. Freon molecules are really small and over time enough can leak past the molecules in the hoses to require adding to the system
Over time your seals also get brittle and allow gas to escape as well.

No, but you can have a very slow leak that allows the freon to escape. The leak is not something that will be noticable, but it is there!

The AC system is a sealed system. It should not loose freon. If it is not blowing cold you have a leak.

I don't know, but somethin must happen to it because whether it's your home or car A/C, the answer is always, "You must be low on Freon." Hmmmm.

Yes it can. There are no perfect seals. It can leak out through the compressor seals, the fill valves, and and hose/tube connections.

even if you dont have a leak,it evaporates.that water you see on the ground is evaporation.
