Sounds like you might have a leak. If it's blowing warm don't keep running the A/C until fixed. Moisture will build in the system so you will need an evacuation and refill. First take it to someone to see if there is a leak and take it from there.

see if you can find someone with a leak detector or you can check the lines an see if you find any deposits of oil built up, thats usually a good indicator of a leak, should have a yellowish or greenish tint to it.
