Last summer I installed my SR20DET and when I did it I installed the KA A/C compressor on the motor but never hooked up the lines or charged the system. This summer rolled around and since it's freaking hot here in GA I decided to hook everything back up. I installed the lines again but noticed that everytime I tried to charge the system, the refrigerant just leaked right out of where the high pressure line connects to the compressor. Is there some kind of o-ring that I need and don't have and where can I get it. I checked my local nissan dealer's online catalog and all they really had listed was the actual compressor itself and not much else. Thanks in advance for any help with this, it's getting pretty hot here and I could really use the A/C.

I think every non-swage connection on the system should have an o-ring. Don't all the other connections have o-rings, like on the reciever/drier? I would go down to the dealership and see what they say. They likely have better sources there than online.
