Is it normal to have recharged the AC and then three days later while driving it just leaked it all at once? It has happened twice already.

Hello, I am Danny.

It is possible to have a big leak. The best thing to do is take it to a shop and they can either use a portable sniffing tool to find leak or they can also add a UV dye into the system and use a fluorescent light to also see where the leak is coming from. I have attached a link for you to view. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
