Well, not actually the seals or the charge would be gone. But the valves are
a common problem in compressors, and they will give that sort of symptom. I
don't have the tools or expertise to say any more than that, but... if the
vacuum side of the compressor plumbing is cold when the A/C has been running
a couple minutes - cold enough to be uncomfortable if you grip it for ten
seconds - the problem is in the air mixing. If not, it's time to take it to
a professional.
