Air con gas dissappearing

Welcome to the Forum,

A Car AC Specialist is probably better suited to diagnose and solve your problem.
Kwik Fit and the like do AC regas quite cheaply. They don't tend to do diagnostics or repairs other then a very basic vacuum test to check for 'big' leaks.
 
Do not use any of the national chains which also do tyres/batteries/exhausts/MoTs or anything other than aircon.
My suggestion of using Kwik Fit, etc was a Yearly £50? Re-Gas might be cheaper than chasing the Leak.
I believe some AC Specialists use a sniffer.
Given that the Gas is escaping at such a slow rate, it may be difficult to detect.
I have had UV Dye used on a Nissan some Years ago. The AC worked for a Week or Two after Re-Gas. The Specialist was then able to see the Hole in the Condenser.
