[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2917566, member: 24531"] thx I will take a look I was not aware of any oring on the factory fitting, but this is a NEW radiator and the fittings come pre-installed in the new radiator complete with a new washer. it isn't leaking from there, it leaks from the threads where the metal nut (with metal line) screws on...I'm sure it is the threads...the OWM metal line/nut was not damaged when removed. I will check to be sure there is not an o-ring but I do not belieb this type of fitting uses one where the metal nut screws onto it. new radiator as mentioned, as for the flare, this was the OEM radiator that was removed so the lines (flare) should be in good shape still. I think I just need something to seal the threads...this is a CHINESE radiator and the fittings that were pre-installed might not quite be as good as the OEM fittings that are screwed into the old OEM radiator (non-chinese). I suspect screwing the old OEM metal lines/nuts into the new chinese fittings is why the threads don't quite seal. [/QUOTE]
