Pressure leak in AC system.. During my EWP install I bumped the front/ top line that goes into the AC mounted on the radiator (I forget the component name at the moment) but anyways I broke the seal apparently and it started leaking air. No freon came out, but all of the "compression" in the system has leaked out.
Whats my next move? Can I get a new seal, bolt it up and go since all the freon is still in it? Or what do I need to do to fix my mistake

That component is the condenser and it cools that high pressure refrigerant coming from the discharge side of the compressor . There is probably a o ring on this fitting or it is a flair fitting that needs to be tightened. The system needs to be evacuated with a vacuum pump and then recharged with the proper amount of refrigent as per the label usually found on the shroud area.
