Re: Bitch *** oil leak
Stealth already told you that the fitting is too small for the line. I had the same problem. -AN lines have Stainless steel braiding which make it very difficult for the hose clamp to ensure a ploper clamp. You have three options:
1) Use a rubber heater hose if you are using a hose clamp
2) Use -AN fittings with -AN line
3) Use the correct size barb with the supplied -AN line (5/8")
Done deal

Re: Bitch *** oil leak
The weld isnt leaking, I checked it pretty thuroughly before I put the oil pan back on. The bottom fitting is one that I actually got from Lowes (steel) and had to grind some around the sides for the line to fit over it. I guess I'll try to tighten that bitch with a socket too.
I'm far too lazy to relace that ---- with an AN fitting.
