Air Conditioning problem V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 94,000 miles

Over the summer I noticed that the a/c wasn't working properly when stuck in stop and go traffic.
When the car is in motion the a/c starts to work as normal, but when in standstill, the a/c gets real humid. I tried to recharge the a/c but no improvement. I also notice a hiss from under the hood when I get out of the car and the air has been on. I believe this leak is causing the check engine light to come on but I haven't checked the code to be sure.
