I was thinking I'll just be careful so that all of it stays on the outside of the fitting. Too risky?

Look on the first picture, you see oil on the outside of the line at probably what is the lowest point.

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

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.
