HVAC freon leak location?

Almost 24k miles, AC wasn't working well yesterday, and only blowing in the mid 60s from the center vents. Went to my bud's garage, and hooked up his gauges and the charge was definitely low. So we added about 1 can and got the pressures to a more reasonable 30/300 (still low on low side), 95deg F outside, and got it down to ~50 from the vents, which is better no doubt, then we had to knock off for the night.

Do the F10s have a specific leak point in the HVAC system we should look for? If it's a really slow leak, I won't worry too much, but we'll monitor it now that we have a baseline.

Seams of the condensor. They tend to develop a leak there. F10's are known for this. I had my 2013 M5 condensor replaced in 2016 . There was a Technical service bulletin about it. No recall though.

^ That's where my condenser went, luckily under warranty at the time 6 years ago.
