Default 93 ranger 3.0 ac leak
hey guys, just picked up a ranger & the ac leaks quickly out of a recessed bolt that connects the line to the compressor. It's the upper connector right under the throttle spring. I'd like to try & tighten it, but what tool? It's a 2 sided nut recessed into the connector. I'd like to determne if it's leaking because it's loose before anything. Thanks so much

is it really small like a valve stem in a car tire? if so just use a valve core remover to tighten it if its kind of big use a a pair of needle nose to tighten it
