It's a very minimal loss that's why the system should be serviced every few years. As far as I know shop now shouldn't sell re gas kits as your supposed to be certified to re gas air con, like me

The correct way, I'm not sure how the mickey mouse can will tell you, is firstly you need to recover the old gas out, you the have to pull the system into a vaccum to remove any trapped air/moisture this is very important as R132a gas becomes a volitile substance when compressed with air. You then have to add the CORRECT amount of oil so not to hydraulic the commpressor, a little leak detection dye and regas with the correct amount of gas. This is usually on a sticker under the bonnet which will tell you which type of gas is used. Being an early jap car this could be R12 or usually R132a. Do not use the wrong gas. Do not smoke. Beware of any leaks while refilling as contact WILL cause bad frostbite. You should wear goggles and nitrile gloves. Beware of this operation yourself
it is highly dangerous if untrained do at your own risk!!!! Good luck
