I ordered a compressor/LP line/receiver kit a couple years ago and it came with a pile of O-rings, most of them not used for what I needed....but enough to do a complete system change out. I can count 7 connections between LP, HP, and Condenser lines. Even changing those O-rings out doesn't rule out a compressor casing/seal leak, HP sensor/cutout leak, receiver/drier weld leak, HP vent/charging connection, rubber to metal hose crimps, cracks in the condenser/evap, etc. All my O-rings were still holding pressure fine after 14 years. But what was leaking were the compressor seal and a slice in the HP tubing itself.
