Default What did I do????!!!!

Ive been without a/c for about a year and a half I figured it was the compressor or something else expensive. Anyway, I went to try some stop leak and found out that a hose that I had kinda bent out of the way while replacing the radiator is leaking. I opened it up to see if there was some type of o-ring I had to replace. And it looks to be metal on metal??? and the connection is as tight as it will go. Can somebody help shed some light on my dilemma. Should be a simple fix.

Here is a pic of the connection I'm talking about.

If you take that 10mm bolt out and disconnect the hose you will see that there is a rubber o-ring in there. You may be able to straighten it back out and replace the o-ring to stop the leak. Good luck
