Is there any good way to put a new fitting into the side of these

I just had another thought that requires a seperate post - Looks like
you lost some oil when it rusted through. You don't want to waste
several hours getting that system all fixed up, only to have the
compressor sieze on you.

think you are an electrician. You are a wealth of knowledge.
