Thanks for the reply. The tube assy is NLA anywhere. There's a Delco fitting which is used to "repair" that service port which the mechanic tried but it didn't work. They had to remove the entire tube and grind the face of the port flat (look carefully at the photo above - the hex points were digging into the fitting chamfer.) They most likely replace the o-ring and recharged. It was in the shop from Thurs 8 AM till Monday afternoon. They wanted to keep it over the weekend to check for leaks. After driving cross-country it's still tight.
