My ac has a fairly significant leak. It only takes a few days before I have to recharge it with a 12oz can. I put dye into my ac system and I found where it's leaking. It's where the ac line goes through the radiator on the passenger side. What are my chances that it's just an o-ring? Or is it a bigger problem?

Very good chance, >90 percent, that the Oring replacement will fix it

If you want best life from your AC, replace the Oring , have your system pumped down and leak chromed before recharging. You also need a new receiver drier and PAG charge if it has been leaking for more than a few days
