Is this the only thing I should be replacing or should there be an o-ring at this location in tandem with the plastic spacer ring?
Probably just an old O-Ring, they tend to get hard after a while. You can get them from the Subaru dealer, but you can also just get an O-Ring assortment from Autozone for like $5 or so. That's what I did when I converted my Legacy to R-134a.
