Levi,
R-12 connectors look like a Tire Stem welded to the pipe.
When R-12 to R-134 conversions are done the R-134 adapter is screwed on
top of the R-12 connector.
Some of the 134 adapters have Red Lock-Tite (Stud & Bearing) on the
threads making it hard to remove
the 134 adapter. But it can be done. Just a little heat will release the
Lock-Tite,
Go to your local McParts store and Look in the A/C Supplies area You
will find the adapters (Under 5 Bucks)
Pick up a set then change out the leaking one you have. Screw off Old
Screw on New.

Hmm... Dunno, I don't know what R12 connectors are like. There's a dust
cap that screws on to a "pop-on" coupling that works with any of the R134
refill kits. It *looks* like that's part of the pipe... But for all I
know, perhaps it's somehow threaded onto a smaller piece on the pipe?
This is sounding like I'm going to be better off to take it to someone who
knows what they're doing until I've seen it done once...

The ones with their own schrader valves, or the ones that fit over
the R12 service connector and have a little pushrod to open the
original schrader valve? If the latter, can you fix the leak by
removing the adapter (or was it coated in permanent threadlocker?).
