Refrigerant leak

Summer 2003, no A/C. Evacuate and recharge with dye $225 by local indy. He couldn't find the leak and said bring it back when it quits cooling and he will spot the dye and fix it. It worked fine all 2003 and 2004.
Same thing again. $225 to evacuate and recharge with dye, same indy. Can't find the leak and sees no evidence of prior dye. He checked the drain tube and no dye there. Now he says I should have brought it back in 2003 a month after he put the dye in. He wonders if it might be leaking at the evaporator but he doesn't really know how it's getting out.
Would you expect to see dye now if it has been leaking since 2003? Can it all leak out at the evaporator without dye showing?
Should I just start topping it off myself each year? Thanks.
