There's truth to both.

If it ran dry and leaked the oil too, then the compressor will overheat, and the seals inside will burn up. Then you'll have no compression, and your AC will fail while everything looks perfect.

If it has oil, and you recharge it with a can, it'll work, but whatever caused it to leak out will happen again.


So without a repair, it'll leak again. Without oil, it'll break. The one positive, is you can use an AC recharge with a dye, and it'll show up under a black light where it's leaking. You can then change that O ring, or whatever caused the leak, and it'll function again
