Unless you have been in a fender bender or your piping, condenser / evaporator core is damaged, the valve cores are usually the culprit for A/C leaks.
It's the first thing I replace when helping someone with their A/C. Then I use a pump to draw a vacuum to test for leaks and if it's stable for at least 30 mins, I recharge the system. So many times I've seen the red and blue caps for (or black) A/C service ports missing (which is a bad sign), which lets dirt in and gas escape. If you're missing those, replace them as soon as you can.
If you have a bad condenser, evaporator core, hoses, seals, etc... that can be found by using leak detector dye. If it's a plugged orifice tube or compressor, well that's a horse of a different color. Even still, most o-rings can be replaced cheaply if necessary, as long as you know where they are.
I go through a few of these kits that come with the valve tool.

Other than the peculiarities of different vehicles, A/C work isn't complicated, but getting to the parts to replace them is.
I am not an expert, but I've taught myself how to use the various tools and rented the expensive ones from AutoZone. If you're handy enough, you can diagnose your own issue and repair it with very little investment.

What if the car is a beater over 20 years old? Hoping to get a couple more years out of the car but the lack of AC is brutal in the summer. Figure this might be worth using in this case

You can also just get cans without stop leak in it from your local auto parts store

What doesn't have leak seal anymore? Seems like everything does in the fine print.
