A/C developments and questions

Okay, so I am pretty convinced the wiring has little to do with my air conditioning problem after several hours, cut fingers and one sour mood.
There was bugger all gas left!
This is a nuisance as I only had it regassed earlier this year. So I took the fittings off the compressor and one of the seals was shot. Also the filling fittings are a little bit loose.
Questions:
Can I use general rubber seals on the A/C system or do they need special ones?
Do the filling fittings with red or blue caps leak often and where else could it be leaking from?

I am sure they are special seals,buy them from your a/c regas guys.

Yes the seals are not your average seal. Generally when you AC looses gas it comes from the seal in the front of the AC compressor
