Does the A/C compressor ever cycle on? >>>

Dave,
If the freon level (pressure) gets too low, it will cause the low pressure switch (located at the receiver/dryer--the top of which has the "view-thingy"--or sight glass) to stop the compressor from coming on (to prevent damage).
Was the a/c on with engine idling when you looked at the sight glass?
That is the proper procedure to check the glass. If not, then you might not get a true reading.
Had you been seeing bubbles and now there are none?
If so, there probably the level has dropped and there is most definitely a leak.
I don't know if there is a good homemade test for the a/c system, as I've never been good with a/c stuff myself. But I did buy a pressure guage at my local Wal-Mart; it shows the pressure of freon charge in a/c system (connected to low press. side ONLY).
Just my 2 cents...
