Default Will this earls leak.

My greddy oil cooler's earls fittings are always weeping and wet. I took the fittings off the lines to freshly attach them when i noticed the seating surface's have a few small dings. I don't know if it was the fitting itself leaking (mating surface) or if the line just needs to be freshly attached. Anyone with a lot of fitting experience have an opinion on if this will leak::



If there's a good chance it will, I'd rather just get new fittings... Thanks.

I don't use teflon..you don't use it on flare fittings like above post said. Well, I recut the line and it doesn't leak so far..so I'll say no, it wont.
