The flare fittings do leak, expecially with R134a. I use a semi-hardning thread sealer just to keep them tite and flare seals to slow leaks.

I use this, not to seal but prevent loosening and protect threads.

Yes. I buy fitting from coldhose.com and use this crimper for a/c and power steering hoses. I always try to start with an OE hose and then put the right end on to adapter to the applications. For hard lines, I cut and weld as necessary.
