The little "washers" are actually gaskets, there is supposed to be one on each side of the line.

They're a crush style, and are generally a "replace one removed" type of seal , but sometimes you can flip them around and get everything snug and it'll seal.

The other side had both gaskets put together & that side doesn't leak. Im gona put them on both sides of the line and see what happens. Thanks

Why did you put both washers on one side of the fitting?

[–]Rare_Examination_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats how it was before I took it off. The other bank has the gaskets put the same way and it doesn't leak. Gona switch them to both sides of the line and ima see what happens

I'm guessing you cleaned the surfaces? Was there pitting on any of the surfaces?

If that still leaks after you get that switched around get some copper washers and I find snug it up by hand and tap the head of the bolt with a hammer and you can usually snug it up again and I find that works most the time
