You'll want to shake the bottle well before spraying if it sets for a long period of time.

It can leak out over time if your connections are not secure. Mine never got the chance to go bad.

You'll be fine, don't worry about any 'expiration dates.' You don't really need to shake it either. Just verify there isn't any leaks otherwise you'll come back to an empty bottle. Also don't store the bottle near any heat sources etc.

I have used bottles in cars that had set in the garage for well over a year and in some cases longer. You will be fine.
