I seem to have fixed the leak.

First of all, I suspect that the original copper washer is still there. 
Is it kind of embedded in the adapter block?

Whatever, I got another copper washer. this one was exactly the right 
diameter, but slightly thicker than the original, going by Russ's 
measurements. I put this in and the leak stopped.

Is there any way to test that the air cooler is working? Is it possible 
for it not to work, once it's installed and not leaking?
