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.

if im doubt, change it out.

are you using teflon tape also?

 

teflon is not needed or reccomended to be used on these fitting other than npt fittings

 

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.
