I just re-charged the AC in an old Accord, only to find after charging that the high pressure valve was leaking (when I removed the high-side fitting it started spraying refrigerant like a fountain--good reminder to wear eye protection and gloves). Not having any better options, I quickly screwed on the plastic valve cover, which miraculously was able to contain the leak. I was afraid replacing the valve core would mean having to drain the whole system and start over, but then discovered there's a tool that lets you replace the valve core while the system was under pressure. The tool I got is made by Mastercool, but I'm sure there are others as well. So if one of your valves is leaking, know that you can replace it without having to evacuate and re-charge the whole system.
