Default Leak from Line Junction

Went thru workshop manual. But couldn't determine just what the static, slow leak is coming from the junction with the two Allen bolts on passenger side a couple feet forward and inboard from pass rear wheel in the attached rear looking pic. Any help would be appreciated on just what these lines are and the best approach to a fix.

Rear AC Lines. O-rings 3 and 4 are leaking freon. Best to replace them all.

Those are the AC lines to the rear AC and they are leaking refrigerant oil.

And since the oil is much thicker than the Freon, it also means you are loosing Freon there, also.

Also a good idea to remove the rear console cover and inspect the evaporator as the icopper lines can leak where they are inserted into the core
This can be fixed by potting the joints with JB weld

You think there’s refrigerant left?
