my a/c is leaking bad

[n00b on demand]

So i attempted to recharge my a/c system today. It leaks out completley once every 2 months...at least thats what it did during the summer. So i got my can of r-134a....hooked it up to the line and after a few seconds the compressor turned on...so as i was about to unhook everything or go to the car to shut it down....freakin crap started spouting out from the top. I immediatley shut the car off. Then under the hood i could hear something fizzing...sounded like it was coming from the same area. So i took a screwdriver and poked the low pressure line where i hooked the can up too so i could let some out. And i started the car back up and put the a/c on and presto everything was fine. Compressor turned on and everything and it wasn't spewing fluid. So i shut it down and came in...had lunch and went out to run my errands. I started the car and turned the defrost on to see if it was working and nothing happened....popped the hood and the compressor wasnt turning on. So i drove to the store and came home and popped the hood. Took the screw driver and poked the pin again and theres nothing left . So it looks like i got a really bad leak. Where do i go from here? I dont need the a/c as it cold out....but i really need my defrost working.

Sweetness david....can you be so kind as to point me in the direction of these on subaru-parts.com? ...You think I ruined anything by overfilling?

Where else could it be leaking from other than o-rings?

I looked in the 1993 section on subaruparts.com but couldn't find the o-rings. Try a newer year and they will show up.

Thanks chris but i will look to do this on my own...should be a cheap and easy fix

no problem... they charged me $60 to recharge my a/c last year I was happy

Not under the bolts, but under the metal line that is bolted down.
