Yeah, that's a wierd leak to have. I love AN fittings. So much nicer than rubber. Hell, I welded a -10 bung onto my waterpump housing for the return from the heater core and I also pulled both the nipples out of the rear iron and tapped them. The one on for the TB is now a 1/4" NPT plug, and the one for the feed to the heatercore I tapped to 1/2" NPT and used a 1/2" to -10 fitting with one of the puch to fit fittings. Makes taking the hoses off SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier. 1/4 turn with a wrench and back it off by hand. A lot better than trying to monkey with those hoses.

As for the hardline adapters, if you were using them with the stock lines, the stock lines are a little smaller than the hardlines that the adapters were intended for, so I'm not surprised that then needed to be cranked on

Just my opinion
