Sounds like it could be a leak at the expansion valve.

just screw it on and off ?

I mean, its really easy to find leaks.

Evacuate it, pull a DEEP vacuum (29 hg+), put some R134a with UV Dye, run it for a day or 2, use a Black light and look around, u will know where the leak is.

after you find the leak, fix it, evacuate it, pull a DEEEEEP vacuum again, I forgot what our system use PAG or Ester oil? put whatever it is back in, just need a few oz, then just charge it with 134a again.
