The evaporator is most likely the culprit, BUT is not 100% of the time.

The schraeder valve at the charging port can leak and easy to detect if you have dye in the system.

If the charge holds for a couple of months, then the leak is small. Before you take the dash apart, recharge the system with refrigerant can that has dye and stop leak. The stop leak approach is a one time deal. It will work if the leak is pinhole size. If it discharges in a couple of months, you know the leak is big enough and you can trace the leak now with the fluorescent glasses.
