88 5kq - slow leak in A/C, need gasket/O-ring sources

[James at ringsperformance.com]

You may have a leak, or it may just be that Autofrost will only work on
these old cars (patients: '87 4kq, '89 200q, '91 200q) if you change the
hoses. R22 is really "leaky" and won't stay put. Sorry.

However, YMMV.
