The first thing to check... refrigerant pressure. It's almost ALWAYS the refrigerant. The design of an automotive refrigeration A/C system isl not quite the same as your kitchen refrigerator, which almost NEVER leaks refrigerant.
The hoses and compressor seal on your automotive AC leak. It may be a very slow leak, but they ALL leak, so before you put a lot of money into speculation, check the pressures on the AC system and if it's low, add refrigerant.
Having said that, it CAN be a failed compressor clutch, downright worn out compressor, bad fuse or worn out switch.
... but start with the refrigerant.
