A/C // Rad Issues

Heeeeeey guuuuuuys...

I recently found out my cars radiator had a leak in it (smelled antifreeze, went to dealer). I bought the rad and coolant off the dealer, and did the work myself. I'm no mechanic, but I followed the Moshimoto guide.. except using a stock radiator. Everything went pretty well....except..

I accidentally loosened the a/c discharge bolt, releasing refrigerant until I was able to tighten it back up . I didn't think much of it, figured I would have to recharge, so I did.

As I was recharging, I heard a leak. I took the front end of my car back off, assuming it was coming from the discharge bolt.. sure enough it was. I would add a little refrigerant, and could feel it leaking around the bolt. I took the bolt completely off and an o-ring crumbled into my hand, broken. I'm assuming that this is the problem.

So, does anyone know if this is a common o-ring carried at your local auto parts store, and if so, does anyone happen to have a parts number? I'm really hoping it's something I can snag tomorrow and just take a day off work (because I'm lazy).
