A/C compressor bolt missing/leaking freon

Found my freon leak. The bottom front case bolt fell out anf freon is leaking out. Anyone have a guess as to the bolt size? Wish I had a core to rob!

Going to the boneyard to try to score a few of those bolts. I hope it seals after that because I can't afford a compressor right now. Crazy expensive.

You have the Sanden SD7H15 or the regular SD705 I believe.

Great units, but they can be pricey. I got one a SD7H15 in the box, not a rebuild, for my A/C conversion in my 68 Chrysler wagon, found it on E-bay for $75!!

Even if it's a slow, or weak leak, you can add some leak stop to your system and it should seal it up.
