A/C Low Pressure port missing cap = leak?

Hello everyone.

New forum member here

I just bought an 07 G35S Sedan about 2 weeks ago and, needless to say, I absolutely love it.

When I test drove the vehicle the A/C was ICE cold and on my way home it simply stopped blowing cold air. I checked under the hood recently and I couldn't see any broken/damaged A/C lines but I did notice that the Low Pressure port for the r-134a refrigerant doesn't have a cap on it.

Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.

Could this cause a leak in my A/C lines? If so, does Infiniti even sell just that cap alone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The cap is to keep debris out mainly but is an important part to keep the port clean so no standing debris keeps it from closing fully after recharge.

Gotcha. I figured that was the case and I just wanted to make sure.

I imagine these caps are universal for r-134a so I'm going to check out an auto parts store or the junk yard.

Thanks!
