It's leaking out slowly.  The O rings usually are the culprit, followed by the
various hoses that deteriorate over time.  It also could have a bad condenser, in
front of the radiator, or possibly a bad evaporator, inside the dash.  At least some
of these things should have been replaced when they did the overhaul, but they
obviously aren't finished.  My Slorider wagon needed ALL the hoses replaced, as well
as the evaporator, after the R-134 conversion failed after one year.  At the same
time you do the evaporator, if you need to do it, have them do the heater core, too.
 That wouldn't be under warranty for the a/c problem, but they are only about 35
bucks, so buy one and give it to the guy to install while he has the dash apart.
