Answer
You stated: when I pulled gauge off high side valve leaked until I replaced cap.

This means that the schrader valve (just like is in your tire stem is leaking) and your losing freon from this high side valve. the only way to replace it is to empty the system of freon and unscrew the schrader valve and replace it just as you would for your tire stem.

Your pressures are a little low on freon.
