replace the pressure switch and that should fix it

as for general info: the light needs time to get hot, just because it lights up its not ready right away, after it gets hot for 5 minutes or so things with dye glow super bright.

if you don't see the leak then it may be up under the dash or inside it as in the evaporator core.

unfortunately if its the evaporator then the way they build cars today the whole dash, and I mean the whole dash, usually has to be stripped out down to the firewall to replace it.

if its a small leak just add Freon until fall, if it needs it every month or sooner then just bring it in to a dealer and let them tell you what is leaking. most dealers only charge $75-$100 diagnostic fee to find a problem and quote a repair cost for it

Where is the pressure switch located, on the compressor or elsewhere?
