It must have lost refrigerant then. The good news is R600a is
isobutane, and diying that is cheap. The bad news is that it'll leak
out again, and R600a is explosively flammable.

The usual advice with leaks is ditch it, as a slow leak's so hard to
find and fix.



Also, would a leak leave a stain on the floor - or simply evaporate?

The plate states that the refridgerant type is R600a.

its isobutane, like butane

This might be your opportunity to get a much more reliable frosting
