DB9 AC compressor leak

Hi friends

Any idea what is under this brass part (circled in red)

My Aston DB9 AC compressor was leaking oil, it was discovered very early so compressor is working fine but I wanted to fix the leak, it was leaking from this circled area. I was able to take off snap ring and the screw in the center but remains brass part keeps on spinning when I insert the screw back I can turn it all the way left or right snd it will spin the hosing so any one knows if there is any special tool needed to remove it ?

I would take that picture to a local Auto AC repair shop and ask them. That's got to be the fill port for the compressor oil which should have an o-ring.

After taking of the snap ring the brass part has a lip you just have to get a thin plier like wire cutter and pull it out. It’s called AC pressure control valves.
