Check the thermostat is operating correctly, the cooling fan is turning etc

that is a very fast leak. try using UV dye leak detector. color of this dye is bright green and will be show at the leak source. a UV light is also helpful so you can see it better. you can buy this at any auto parts with freon mixed with it, with this leak you should see oily trace at the leak area, don't forget to recharge compressor oil after your repair.

have you replaced the condinsor

Why did you change anything at all? Makes no sense,

When the colour of the fluid changes it's an indicator of old fluid which must be changed. Too many garages rely on diagnostic codes these days instead of using their brains. The same rule applies to power steering fluid as well.
In any case, a fluid change costs peanuts in comparison to the potential problems which can occur when using fluid which is life-expired. If in doubt, change it.

Yes, definitly the blower motor resistor. Usually located just under the dash on the passenger side. Usually a result of mostiure entering the compartment where the resistor is located. Very common issue actually.

Try changing your fuel cap.

make sure the drain tube for the box is not clogged in the engine compartment firewall left side the AC condinsor has to bleed off water because of condensation on it from being in use,, otherwise u would have water with anti-freeze from the heater core if it was leaking ! but just water its the AC condinsor, lot of junk gets in the box from the vents and sometimes cases blockage
