Default AC issues - suggestions?

Purchased my 981 in late February - 1 owner car with 11k miles (2013).

Out on a ride with the wife a few weeks ago on a warm day, and noticed that the AC was not blowing cold air. Got home - went to the local parts store - and purchased an AC charging kit.

Blew cold air at the time of charge - and fast forward to yesterday - no cold air (this was 2 weeks later).

Sound like a leak?

Find an HVAC shop with an R134A leak detector and let them find the leak. It's not a huge surprise given that the refrigerant is pumped from the middle of the car to two condensers in the front bumper, and those condensers are exposed to stone hits and other damaging stuff.,
