The drier quick connect has two oring, but it is held in with a spring clip that locks the hose in place. You need a tool that slips inside the hose to both release and install this line, if you just push it in it doesn’t lock and will blow out under pressure.

Here is a great YouTube on making one from a hose clamp or jubilee clip, duration 75 seconds, no fluff

So finally got around to fix the problem. Took it to a car AC specialist shop, they changed all the rubber o rings and resealed the system, tested it to 15bar and now everything works as it should.
