Yes this does look like a item that would be covered under warranty. I would call the manufacture, and see if they will do anything for you, regardless of the age of the unit.
At least they might be able to point you to a authorized warranty agent, who can repair it. My guess is that I could heat the tubing to 1100F and melt in some solder in a few seconds, then cut off one of the low pressure tubes and install a freon fitting. Install a drier, and put it on a vacuum pump for about 1 hour. Recharge and it will work like normal. This will take about 3-4 hours. Most shop labor is in the $100 per hour range these days.
Sadly most will go for a new unit with a new warranty, rather than a repair basically without warranty (for very long). Hopefully the factory will pick up the tab, or at least try to get them to pay 1/2? And would you be able to return to this repair shop for any warranty work related to this repair? Probably not. .
So I hope that you can find a reasonable repair cost at someplace local. Most will just climb up on the roof and fix it there.
