If yes, salvage the R22, vacuum it down to a deep vacuum, then fill it with R290, and do the flame test.

Once you know where the leak(s) can be found, use your well-honed brazing skills and braze up the leak(s).

If Xringer can do it, maybe you can too.

Otherwise, call a local HVAC tech to come out and fix it for you.
