Well, I ended up pumping compressed air in there and didn't "see" anything,
but eventually found that the discharge port was leaking when I placed my
hand back there. As I said before, those are new o-rings and the bolt was
pretty damn tight, so I'm not sure how to make this thing seal correctly.
I'm pretty sure I don't want to use any RTV or other goops, but how else can
I get that to seal right?

New A/C problem - different car ('87 300TD):
Is there a surefire way to pinpoint the source of the leak without the use
of dyes? This is a fairly large leak so I'm wondering if I can just
pressurize the system with my air compressor (via the high side port) and
spray soapy water down there to locate the culprit--is this a viable
option? I know compressed air isn't very dry, but then again neither is a
large system leak, so I'm guessing that I can't do too much damage with this
approach.
