I'm not close to may factory manuals, but will offer a little generic A/C wisdom (ok wisdom might be a stretch).
Usually there's a pressure switch in the system that monitors the refrigerant charge. If you've got a leak in system, the switch will be "open", and not allow the clutch to engage on the compressor. With any luck, you may only need a few o-rings and a recharge. If you're running the old/nasty refrigerant (R-12 ?) this might be a good time to convert to the new stuff. You might even break even since the cost/lb for the old stuff is much more expensive.
