air conditioning fitting?

[ttocs]

I had my ac recharged in july following a heater core swap. I didn't drive it much this summer with the air ride install going on and fall has been mild so it wasn't till today I needed it. I was on my way to get the front end aligned folling the suspension work and it was the same place that charged it so I had them take a look at it. He was about to hook up the hoses when he noticed when he took the cap off of the connector for the high pressure side(I think thats was it was drivers side by the intake) was hissing and leaking. It looks like the fitting might be replaceable but I have no idea what its called, where to look, ect. Anyone else had this problem or know what I am talkin bout? I can get a pic in a few to help out but its one of the fittings you plug into to fill the coolant.

Ordered both my fittings from autozone for less than 10 bucks Just need to have the system vaccumed down and replace them.

it kinda looks like a schrader valve but a little different I thought or I would have called it that myself and I am sure the shop would have also. Dunno... Its is a silver piece that is attaced to the black pipe that wraps around the intake going to the back of the motor. I had them evacuate the rest of the system so that I can swap it out myself and they said that they would hook me to up to charge it again for a fair price.

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/pa...System-Valve-Core-and-Cap-Kit/_/N-j1hjqZ91uan This is what you need man. I hope someone can tell us what to lubricate those seals with before installing them. Becaus eI need to do mine but am unsure what to lube the seals with. I figure it needs to be something that is safe for the a/c system but I am not sure what to use.
