Default Freon leak?

So about a month ago i purchased a 2003 concorde and it had no a/c , blows air just no cold air. huh that sucked. me thinks the car has sat for about a year due to being impounded due to being seized by the police and local dealership got a hold of it. so i buy a few cans of freon and go about my business , well in 2 days no more cold air. damn it. well i try to be optimistic and just buy one more can and hope maybe i somehow put the first 2 cans in wrong and something was not sealed right. so put another can in , and another day of nice cold air. next day no more cold air. damn it! so it would seem i have a leak somewhere. im kinda hoping this maybe a common problem? maybe a quick easy fix? or am i gonna have to take it to the shop and pay them to find the leak and then pay them to repair the leak? any insight on this im sure would be helpful.

no i was hoping this may be a common prob , something like 90% of the time on the 03 concorde's they tend to leak from this particular area. i wasn't asking anyone to help me find the leak , i apologize if my post came out that way , at times i type way too fast , i dont wanna brag but all my ex's would call me flash.

99% chance the evaporator is leaking. 99% chance you'll have to do another one in a year or so...lol

no argument coming from my side. chrysler's definitely are like g/f's they are always wanting some attention. they are attention *****'s. and they aint even cheap. however chrysler's are a smooth ride and they dont talk back , nor biggie size **** at Mcdonald's.
