Because my picture isn't the clearest so just wanted to point the location out on it.
That's what I am querying. The guy who came out to inspect it showed me the dye marks around the bit shown in the picture and then said it looks like I need a new compressor.
I now know (after looking up on the internet) that is not the compressor and is also why I said 'maybe he saw something else' that made him think there was also an issue with the compressor.

In my experience with A/C systems, most of the leaks occur around the condenser and associated pipework. The condenser has a terrible life at the front of the car and is prone to corrosion. The movement in the pipes can also cause cracks to appear. These are the usual culprits in A/C system faults.
That's fine - will he re gas the system for you?

Yes. He said there is still pressure in the system so hopefully it won't be the cost of a full refill again.
If he is changing the condenser then he will need a full re gas - hopefully there are no other issues with the rest of the system.
Be lucky!

Yeah sorry he did say that he’ll take out what’s left and make a note so that I’m only change for the additional gas needed.
