Freon leak from low pressure port

Freon leak from low pressure port
I have a 2000 F150 V8 Triton and wanted to recharge ac, when cap from low pressure port removed I heard a little hiss and once off discovered a freon leak. Wondering if anyone can help with how to repair? Is there possibly something I can tighten or does the condenser have to be replaced? The AC use to work great, slowly lost icy air and obviously due to leak, thanks in advance for your help.

If you turned the Shrader valve and it didn't tighten, that would suggest that the threads are stripped and that the line (not the condenser) needs to be replaced in order to cure the leak.
Otherwise, recharge it and put the cap back on. The cap should seal it enough so the leak is, at least, slowed down to a manageable rate.
