Freon and AC system on 323i (archive)

THe sight glass shows alot of small bubbles when the compressor is turning. Also, there is not adequate cooling.

I don't think I have a huge leak, since the freon has kept the AC system chilled for about one year or more, but just the same, I don't want to destroy the compressor and condensor by not keeping the freon fully charged.

Should I get the freon recharged now, even tho I won't be using the AC for the next four months or wait until March ?

Also, I'm pretty sure my car is still taking the R12, but not certain. How can I tell ?
