Common AC Issues in Older Units

I’ve been troubleshooting a lot of older AC units lately, and one recurring issue is refrigerant leaks. It seems like when these units start to age, the connections wear down, especially around the evaporator coil. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Any tips on how to best seal the leaks or do a temporary fix while waiting for parts?
